(2) I think the "machine type to newer than 5.1" reference should be removed at
this point. (Similarly to how "x-smi-cpu-hotunplug" should default to "false"
at this point in time, in patch#1.) We don't know when hot-unplug will work; we
only know that it doesn't work now.
We could say something like
error_append_hint(errp, "update machine type to a version having "
"x-smi-cpu-hotunplug=on and firmware that "
"suppors CPU hot-unplug with SMM");

These superficial comments aside, the patch works for me:
