Can you update the documentation along? Currently we have:

/*
* Called from the idle thread for the CPU which has been shutdown.
*
* Note that we disable IRQs here, but do not re-enable them
* before returning to the caller. This is also the behaviour
* of the other hotplug-cpu capable cores, so presumably coming
* out of idle fixes this.
