That cool, but SVVP complains.
What's the complaint?  Maybe we can fix it instead of rewriting things.

Hope it accessible to everyone but if not SVVP complains:
Run "Signed Driver check" of SVVP testing, the (Qemu virtual CPU verison
0.9.1) has error.

The only why to fix it that I can see is to not present disabled MADT
entries for Windows and that will require us to provide some kind
of flag to QEMU. The cleanest way is to create disabled MADT entries
only if max-cpus != startup cpus and run Windows only with max-cpus ==
startup cpus. The problem is 1) you have to know what is your guest
at startup time 2) will require creation of SSDT for Processors()
on the fly (or precompile them for every value of max-cpus and load
dynamically). Actually there is a third solution that I just thought
about but I need to test it first :).

Perhaps loading a processor driver will fix this issue (which driver can also perform the hotplug).

Anyway all those solution do not
guaranty that we will be able to do cpu hotplug on Windows since we
don't yet know what Windows expects.

I'm sure we'll be able to eventually.
