- cpu0_hotplug [X86] Turn on CPU0 hotplug feature when
- CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is off.
- Some features depend on CPU0. Known dependencies are:
- 1. Resume from suspend/hibernate depends on CPU0.
- Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you
- need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate.
- 2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be
- removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
- It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some
- machines although I haven't seen such issues so far
- after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines.
- If the dependencies are under your control, you can
- turn on cpu0_hotplug.
