We always need to allocate struct cpuidle_device_kobj for all CPUs and so there is no real need to have a pointer to it inside struct cpuidle_device.
This patch makes a object instance of struct cpuidle_device_kobj inside struct cpuidle_device instead of a pointer.

nack, it was made in purpose for kobject_init_and_add.

Ahh.. sorry for missing that one :(
Now that I understand why it was introduced, I am thinking if we can make hotplug path a bit fast? By not freeing sysfs stuff and only hiding it for time being? And so we wouldn't be required to do unnecessary initialisations while coming back?
Would that be worth it?
Yes if it possible.
