Thanks Gavin!

We'd flagged the merge conflict but thought we'd chase it with a patch adding
set_cpu_enabled() as you have it fixed below.

I completely missed that Linus took a different path whilst resolving the conflict
to https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240701175051.0ef5d901@canb.auug.org.au/
which was what Stephen did for linux-next (which would have needed a follow up to
use the new infrastructure.

Anyhow, all's well that ends well.
