Say N if you are unsure.

That does not work.

drivers/built-in.o: In function `.store_online':
cpu.c:(.ref.text+0xf5c): undefined reference to `.cpu_hotplug_driver_lock'
cpu.c:(.ref.text+0xfc8): undefined reference to `.cpu_hotplug_driver_unlock'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

cpu_hotplug_driver_lock is only defined on pseries, but HOTPLUG_CPU is
also defined on pmac.

These two routines should be defined as a no-op if CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
is not defined in linux/cpu.h. The update below should be in the patch set
you are looking at.

from linux/cpu.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
extern void cpu_hotplug_driver_lock(void);
extern void cpu_hotplug_driver_unlock(void);
#else
static inline void cpu_hotplug_driver_lock(void)
{
}

static inline void cpu_hotplug_driver_unlock(void)
{
}
#endif
