We are seeing reproducible hangs* when running Steven's
stress-cpu-hotplug under kvm.  This hang goes back to v4.7 at least.
I couldn't reproduce this with bare metal.  Thomas thought it was a
virtualization issue, not related to the hotplug rework.  He is away
until next week.  Maybe he knows more to say...

To reproduce, run 

   while [ 1 ]; do ./stress-cpu-hotplug ; done

and wait about 20 minutes (or longer).

Thanks,
Richard
