From: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de> RT kernels need to ensure that all tasks which are not per CPU kthreads have left the outgoing CPU to guarantee that no tasks are force migrated within a migrate disabled section.
There is also some desire to (ab)use fine grained CPU hotplug control to clear a CPU from active state to force migrate tasks which are not per CPU kthreads away for power control purposes. Add a mechanism which waits until all tasks which should leave the CPU after the CPU active flag is cleared have moved to a different online CPU.
