[Blueprint multi-core-cpu-hotplug] Add support for cpu hotplug on ARM

 

Blueprint changed by Amit Kucheria:

Whiteboard changed:
  [amitk: 2/11/2010]
   * At LDS, it was decided to implement the functionality to allow hotpluging of cores, but leave the question of when to do it to policy
   * If possible, common code will be identified and the implementations refactored
  
  [vingu: 19/11/2010 - 09/12/2010]

  https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/PowerManagement/Doc/Hotplug
  
  Regarding blocked item:
   *cpu hotplug trace events patch is under review
   *cpu hotplug plugin for pytimechart will be submitted only when a trace event patch will be accepted
  
  Status:
  In progress
