From: Daniel Henrique Barboza <danielhb at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch set implements CPU Hot plug/unplug capabilities
in Kimchi.

To test it, simply add/remove CPUs in a running guest via the
'Edit' menu. Note that all restrictions on the current CPU value
(can't exceed max number of CPUs, must be a number that makes
sense in the topology if one is set) still applies.

For Power systems, the hot unplug requires additional software
running in the guest to work: powerpc-utils, ppc64-diag and
librtas. The service 'rtas_err' must be running too.


Further enhancements and bug fixes in the CPU handling when
editing a turned off VM (such as #1042) will be send in a
separated patch.
