Well, in principle you can use the observation that the _FROZEN versions are used during suspend/hibernation. Thus, if you only unregister the device for CPU_DEAD, but you won't do that for CPU_DEAD_FROZEN, it will work as long as the freezer is there. > > It's not clear what the best way is to fix this.

In fact, it's already done that way and I don't think it's racy (see above).
