[RFC 0/3] x86: fix cpu hotplug with secure boot |

CPU hotplug with Secure Boot was not really supported and firmware wasn't aware
of hotplugged CPUs (which might lead to guest crashes). During 4.2 we introduced
locked SMI handler RAM arrea to make sure that guest OS wasn't able to inject
its own SMI handler and OVMF added initial CPU hotplug support.
This series is QEMU part of that support [1] which lets QMVF tell QEMU that
CPU hotplug with SMI broadcast enabled is supported so that QEMU would be able
to prevent hotplug in case it's not supported and trigger SMI on hotplug when
it's necessary.
1) CPU hotplug negotiation part was introduced later so it might not be
in upstream OVMF yet or I might have missed the patch on edk2-devel
(Laszlo will point out to it/post formal patch)

use
