OK at some level but all uses of num_online_cpus()
like this are racy versus hotplug.
I know we already have this bug but shouldn't we fix it
before we add more?
Not sure I get the point, do you mean adding get/put_online_cpus()? But
is it a real bug? We don't do any cpu specific things so I believe it's
not necessary (unless we want to keep #queues == #vcpus magically but I
don't think so). Admin need to re-configure #queues after cpu hotplug if
they wish.
Thanks
