E.g. any carefully sorted out CPU affinity will just be completely messed up. The rebuild also doesn't really help for the common case of cpu hotplug, which is soft onlining / offlining of cpus - in this case we should just leave the queue and irq mapping as is. If it actually worked it would have helped in the case of physical cpu hotplug, although for that we'd need a way to actually notify the driver. Note that drivers may already be able to accommodate such a topology change on their own, e.g. using the reset_controller sysfs file in NVMe will cause the driver to get things right for this case. With the rebuild removed we will simplify retain the queue mapping for a soft offlined CPU that will work when it comes back online, and will map any newly onlined CPU to queue 0 until the driver initiates a rebuild of the queue map.
