Hmm.  Do you really want a CPU being brought up to do that to the PoU,
every time that it is brought up?  I thought you wanted to get rid of
that kind of stuff from the hotplug paths so that a CPU being brought
up/taken down doesn't affect the caches for the other CPUs within the
inner sharable domain.
