Indeed. There's no caller of {en,dis}able_nonboot_cpus() in Arm code
at present, afaics. Hence the code changed (but not the file) is truly
x86-specific at the moment. I've explicitly thought about the
"inconsistency" between title and contents, but I've deliberately put it
as is: The change _is_ x86 / ACPI only, _despite_ touching common
code (and hence needing a REST maintainer ack).

Yes (albeit likely s/necessary/wanted/).

Hmm, I could. But this is just paralleling what we're already doing for
the boot path, so it didn't seem imperative to me to call it out. But
anyway, I've added a sentence.

And that's intentional, even more so that (as said above) Arm doesn't
call here in the first place. And even if it did - whether to do things the
"new" way would then still (intentionally) depend on whether Arm had
any way of park_offline_cpus being "true".
