mainlining shenanigans

The kernel calls these functions on CPU online and hence they must not
be marked __init.
Otherwise if the memory they occupied has been reused the system can
crash in various ways. Sachin reported it caused his LPAR to
spontaneously restart with no other output. With xmon enabled it may
drop into xmon with a dump like:
cpu 0x1: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000003c5fcb0]
pc: 00000000011e0a78
lr: 00000000011c51d4

msr: 8000000000081001
current = 0xc000000002c12b00
paca = 0xc000000003cff280 irqmask: 0x03 irq_happened: 0x01
pid = 0, comm = swapper/1
...
[c000000003c5ff50] 0000000000087c38 (unreliable)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
