There used to be alternate code for the CONFIG_SMP +
!CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, but this was removed because it was determined to
be flakey and not maintainable (I can dig up the threads if you want).
I think that this means that if we have CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_SMP then
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is required. I think this is expressable in Kconfig
somehow.
