    The last CPU hotplugged will remove the node.

    No, the last one will remove the node. This is checked in the test above
    (policy->cpus) != 1 ...

    The paradigm of the DTPM is the intermediate nodes (have children), are
    aggregating the power of their children and do not represent the real
    devices. The leaves are the real devices which are power manageable.

    In our case, the CPU DTPM is based on the performance state which is a
    group of CPUs, hence it is a leaf of the tree.

    I think you misunderstood the power is recomputed when the CPU is
    switched on/off and the node is removed when the last CPU is hotplugged.

    eg. 1000mW max per CPU, a performance domain with 4 CPUs.

    With all CPUs on, max power is 4000mW
    With 3 CPUs on, and 1 CPU off, max power is 3000mW

    etc...

    With 4 CPUs off, the node is removed.

    If the hardware evolves with a performance domain per CPU, we will end
    up with a leaf per CPU and a "cluster" on top of them.
