Merge branch 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull smp hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the next part of the hotplug rework.

   - Convert all notifiers with a priority assigned

   - Convert all CPU_STARTING/DYING notifiers

     The final removal of the STARTING/DYING infrastructure will happen
     when the merge window closes.

  Another 700 hundred line of unpenetrable maze gone :)"
