I don't see this constant being defined in this patch. How large is it?
I wonder whether this might be stolen from an x86 ACPI/NUMA context and
forced onto all architectures now?

This strikes me as wrong, as forking will create a copy of the initial
CPUState, see cpu_copy(). The cpu_index might get overwritten inside the
CPUState, not sure about that, but this here is global state.
Can't we just keep the current code for CONFIG_USER_ONLY and skip all
the bitmap functions?

This is a bad API. :) If we can't handle it, use an Error** errp
argument to pass that info outwards. Imagine this happening from QMP
device-add, then this warning will go unnoticed on stderr.
(Also, error_report() would use the real executable name.)
