Do we really need to keep a pointer in the ops for this function ? I think
we can just call it once for all at boot and be done with that.
Actually the same comment applies to migrate_info_type.

See above, why can't we just invoke the function at probe time (we do
not support migration hence I do not see why we want to keep the
function after boot, it will never be called IIUC) ?

Nit: cpu variable initialization is useless.
Apart from these minor comments patch is fine.
