Joseph, I applied all 3 of your patches/series on top of next-20130701,
which does include dependency "tick:  Fix tick_broadcast_pending_mask
not cleared":

* ARM: tegra: cpuidle: use CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag
* This series
* ARM: tegra114: add support for system suspend

I find that at least on on Tegra114/Dalmore, CPU hotplug doesn't work
correctly.

If I unplug CPU0, I get an immediate system hang:

root at localhost:~# ./cpuonline.py
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
[   73.555696] IRQ73 no longer affine to CPU0
[   73.561965] CPU0: shutdown

If I adjust my script not to hotplug CPU0, I get a hang when plugging a
CPU back in:

root at localhost:~# ./cpuonline.py
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
[   87.141128] CPU2: shutdown
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[   89.227597] CPU1: shutdown
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
[   91.253870] CPU3: shutdown
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

or simpler:

root at localhost:~# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[   80.767825] CPU1: shutdown
root at localhost:~# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

Finally, if I boot afresh and enter system suspend, I see the system
suspend OK, but pressing the power button on either the board itself or
the attached PM342 debug board will not wake the system from sleep.
