SubjectRe: [RFC patch 1/5] kthread: Implement park/unpark facility
Hello,

I've taken a stab at converting stop_machine to use kthread_park and
kthread_unpark. I don't think stop_machine can use
smpboot_park_threads (in their current implementation) because, among
other reasons, _cpu_down calls __stop_machine after parking the
stopper threads via smpboot_park_threads.
