OK, if I drop that patch, then everything on Tegra20 and Tegra30 seems
fine again.

However, I've found some new and exciting issue on Tegra114!

With unmodified v3.11-rc1, I can do the following without issue:

* Unplug/replug CPUs, so that I had all combinations of CPU 1, 2, 3
plugged/unpplugged (with CPU 0 always plugged).

* Unplug/replug CPUs, so that I had all combinations of CPU 0, 1, 2, 3
plugged/unpplugged (with the obvious exception of never having all CPUs
unplugged).

However, if I try this with your Tegra114 cpuidle and suspend patches
applied, I see the following issues:

1) If I boot, unplug CPU 0, then replug CPU 0, the system immediately
hard-hangs.

2) If I run the hotplug test script, leaving CPU 0 always present, I
sometimes see:

I have found no solution for (1) (although I didn't look hard!).

(2) can be solved with the following (at least 50 iterations of my test
script worked with this patch applied):

Here's my test script for reference:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import multiprocessing
import os
import sys
import time

cpus = multiprocessing.cpu_count()
if cpus == 4:
  socf = file('/sys/devices/soc0/soc_id')
  soc = socf.readline().strip()
  socf.close()
  if True: #soc == '48':
    gc = (11, 9, 1, 3, 7, 5, 13, 15)
  else:
    gc = (14, 10, 11, 9, 8, 1, 3, 2, 6, 7, 5, 4, 12, 13, 15)
elif cpus == 2:
  gc = (1, 3)
else:
  raise Exception("Invalid CPU count %d" % cpus)

oldidx = len(gc) - 1
oldmask = gc[oldidx]

for newidx in range(len(gc)):
  newmask = gc[newidx]
  for cpu in range(cpus):
    oldon = oldmask & (1 << cpu)
    newon = newmask & (1 << cpu)
    if oldon != newon:
      if newon:
        newonval = 1
      else:
        newonval = 0
      cmd = "echo %d > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu%d/online" \
% (newonval, cpu)
      print cmd
      os.system(cmd)
  time.sleep(2)
  oldidx = newidx
  oldmask = newmask
