Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Fix CPU hotplug and suspend regression related to
MCE
Commit 8a25a2fd126c ("cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class
to a regular subsystem") changed how things are dealt with in the MCE
subsystem. Some of the things that got broken due to this are CPU
hotplug and suspend/hibernate.
MCE uses per_cpu allocations of struct device. So, when a CPU goes
offline and comes back online, in order to ensure that we start from a
clean slate with respect to the MCE subsystem, zero out the entire
per_cpu device structure to 0 before using it.
