The hotplug case is a bit more complex: we need to either:
  - have a mechanism to let the ACPI SSDT code know what's the APIC ID of
    hotplugged CPUs; or
  - make Seabios run some code in the hotplugged CPU (I am assuming that this is
    simply not possible).
If SMM is supported by qemu/kvm than it will be possible to trigger SMI from
APCI method and SMI handler, that are supposed to run on all CPUs (including 
hot-plugged one)
, could fixup APIC ID of added CPU in some memory region used by ACPI.
