Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pseries: Don't panic when H_PROD fails during cpu-online.

From: Gautham R Shenoy <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:49:37 +0530

If an online-attempt on a CPU which has been offlined using H_CEDE
with an appropriate cede latency hint fails, don't panic.

Instead print the error message and let the __cpu_up() code notify the
CPU Hotplug framework of the failure, which in turn can notify the
other subsystem through CPU_UP_CANCELED.
