>Description:

There are issues with the CPU_INFO_FOREACH / CPU_INFO_ITERATOR interface:

- Order of CPU list is not strict, therefore double-locking of CPUs 
  (eg. if (ci1 > ci2) assumptions) and locking of all CPUs is unsafe.

- There is no clear abstraction of struct cpu_info into MI and MD.

- Interface could be dynamic to support CPU attach/detach on runtime.

>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
>Fix:
Implement dynamic MI interface.
