We finally need to _design_ the infrastructure required for CPU hotplugging and stop hacking away reasonable bits that do not fit in the current simplistic CPU interface model. The questions are: - How should the CPU-APIC-chipset topology should look like in an ideal (qdev reworked or qdev replaced with X) world should like? - How can we make useful step in that direction given the current mechanisms (e.g. a hotpluggable APIC bus created by the chipset)?
