The processor driver used to generate ONLINE and OFFLINE messages.  I
removed them with c1815e0740.  According to the changelog, the driver
core still generates KOBJ_ADD and KOBJ_REMOVE events.

Could you fix the Xen vcpu add/remove problem by looking for
ADD/REMOVE events rather than ONLINE/OFFLINE?

I removed ONLINE/OFFLINE because I think hotplug should be handled in
the ACPI core, not in the drivers.  Removing ONLINE/OFFLINE got rid of
one small piece of driver-specific hotplug handling.  Obviously,
there's still a lot to do.

If using ADD/REMOVE is not sufficient, what is the justification for
needing both REMOVE and OFFLINE, and how would they be different?
