In kernel 4.10-rc1, the kernel routines register_cpu_notifier() and unregister_cpu_notifier() have been removed and their function replaced by callbacks from the hotplug state machine. After looking at the changes required in some other drivers, I have seen that the required changes will not be trivial. Before I start doing the work, I want to know if the changes have been started and/or done by Oracle.
One thing I failed to mention. Commit 7fd8329ba502 in 4.10-rc1 also messes up the ability to define true/false in an out-of-kernel driver. I have submitted a kernel patch to fix this (http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1612.3/00086.html), but it has not yet been merged or received any comments.
