If a given cpu is not in cpu_present and cpu hotplug
is disabled, arch can skip setting up the cpu_dev.
Arch cpuidle driver should pass correct cpu mask
for registration, but failing to do so by the driver
causes error to propagate and crash like this:
[ 30.076045] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000048

Validating cpu_dev fixes the crash and reports correct error message like:
[ 30.163506] Failed to register cpuidle device for cpu136
[ 30.173329] Registration of powernv driver failed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
