[PATCH for-5.0 6/8] acpi: cpuhp: spec: add typical usecases

  * finding a CPU with pending 'insert/remove' event
  * enumerating present and possible CPUs

+        - Get a cpu with pending event
+          1. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register.
+          2. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register.
+          3. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.

CPU
+             with a pending event and selected CPU remains unchanged.
+          5. Otherwise, read the 'Command data' register. The value read is the
+             selector of the CPU with the pending event (which is already
+             selected).
+
+        - Enumerate CPUs present/non present CPUs
+          01. Set the present CPU count to 0.
+          02. Set the iterator to 0.
+          03. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to ensure that it's in
+              a valid state and that access to other registers won't be 
ignored.
+          04. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register to make 'Command data'
+              register return 'CPU selector' value of selected CPU
+          05. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.
+          06. If bit#0 is set, increment the present CPU count.
+          07. Increment the iterator.
+          08. Store the iterator to the 'CPU selector' register.
+          09. Read the 'Command data' register.
+          10. If the value read is not zero, goto 05.
+          11. Otherwise store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to put it
+              into a valid state and exit.
+              The iterator at this point equals "max_cpus".
