[PATCH v2] SUPPORT: downgrade Physical CPU Hotplug to Experimental
Posted by Stefano Stabellini 7 months ago
From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@amd.com>

The feature is not commonly used, and we don't have hardware to test it,
not in OSSTest, not in Gitlab, and not even ad-hoc manually by community
members. We could use QEMU to test it, but even that it is known not to
work.

Also take the opportunity to rename the feature to "ACPI CPU Hotplug"
for clarity.

LGTM -- I guess it does want a changelog entry though.

As indicated before, imo this needs accompanying by a CHANGELOG.md entry
(and I don't think that should be a separate commit).
