OK, I'll add some expanded comments to each of the functions.

Ah, that makes more sense; it explains how code under /just/ #ifdef
PM_SLEEP_SMP can interact with hotplug-related code.

I guess I just checked HOTPLUG for a select/depends and not the other
way around.

Hmmm. The function returns void, although I suppose I could look into
changing that too?

The implementation of disable_nonboot_cpus() is #ifdef
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP, so I think I need that to avoid build errors.

IIUC, machine_shutdown() is only used for kexec now, so I don't think an
alternative implementation is required in the !kexec case?

Oh right; I hadn't noticed the inline in smp.h.
