xen_play_dead calls cpu_bringup() which looks weird, because xen_play_dead() is invoked in the cpu down path, whereas cpu_bringup() (as the name suggests) is useful in the cpu bringup path. Getting rid of xen_play_dead()'s dependency on cpu_bringup() helps in hooking on to the generic SMP booting framework....

However, when the vCPU is onlined back, it resumes execution right after VCPUOP_down hypercall. That was OK (albeit the API for play_dead assu...
