+You need to call register_cpu_notifier() from your init function.
+Init functions could be of two types:
+1. early init (init function called when only the boot processor is online).
+2. late init (init function called _after_ all the CPUs are online).
 
-In your init function,
+For the first case, you should add the following to your init function
 
 	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
 
+For the second case, you should add the following to your init function

 You can fail PREPARE notifiers if something doesn't work to prepare resources.
 This will stop the activity and send a following CANCELED event back.
