The processor driver used to generate ONLINE and OFFLINE messages. I removed them with c1815e0740. According to the changelog, the driver core still generates KOBJ_ADD and KOBJ_REMOVE events.
Could you fix the Xen vcpu add/remove problem by looking for ADD/REMOVE events rather than ONLINE/OFFLINE?
I removed ONLINE/OFFLINE because I think hotplug should be handled in the ACPI core, not in the drivers. Removing ONLINE/OFFLINE got rid of one small piece of driver-specific hotplug handling. Obviously, there's still a lot to do.
If using ADD/REMOVE is not sufficient, what is the justification for needing both REMOVE and OFFLINE, and how would they be different?
