Agreed + smoothing over that by stashing and putting it back doesn't
work because there is an additional call to acpi_bind_one() inbetween
here and the one you reference.

The arch_register_cpu() calls end up calling register_cpu() /
device_register() / acpi_device_notify() / acpi_bind_one()

With current code that fails (silently)
If I make sure the handle is set before register_cpu() then it
succeeds, but we end up with duplicate sysfs files etc because we
bind twice.

I think the only way around this is larger reorganization of the
CPU hotplug code to pull the arch_register_cpu() call to where
the acpi_bind_one() call is.  However that changes a lot more than I'd like
(and I don't have it working yet).

Alternatively find somewhere else to stash the handle, or just add it as
a parameter to arch_register_cpu(). Right now this feels the easier
path to me. arch_register_cpu(int cpu, acpi_handle handle) 

Would that be a path you'd consider?
