This mutex is currently protecting per node boost kthreads creation and affinity setting across CPU hotplug operations. Since the expedited kworkers will soon be split per node as well, they will be subject to the same concurrency constraints against hotplug. Therefore their creation and affinity tuning operations will be grouped with those of boost kthreads and then rely on the same mutex. To prepare for that, generalize its name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
