I want to get rid of non-symmetrical part and the arch hook which should
be part of the hp notifier itself. I wouldn't be too much afraid about
the when point in time when the notifier runs: It is the *first*
notifier that will be invoked on the target CPU. This is only a few
lines after the old hook. Nothing else long delaying should be invoked.
