From: Joel Stanley joel@jms.id.au
commit a02f6d42357acf6e5de6ffc728e6e77faf3ad217 upstream.
It's not done anything for a long time. Save the percpu variable, and emit a warning to remind users to not expect it to do anything.
This uses pr_warn_once instead of pr_warn_ratelimit as testing 'ppc64_cpu --smt=off' on a 24 core / 4 SMT system showed the warning to be noisy, as the online/offline loop is slow.
