A number of systems are showing "hotplug capable" CPUs when they are not really hotpluggable. This is because the MADT has extra CPU entries to support different CPUs that may be inserted into the socket with different numbers of cores. The ACPI spec is clear that the Online Capable bit in the MADT should be used to determine whether or not a CPU is hotplug capable when the enabled bit is not set.
