Hm, I thought there were more patches needed to support actual hardware - the 
feature also has various limitations related suspend/resume. Are these 
CPU0-hotplug commits all that was needed to support the new hot-pluggable 
hardware?

In any case, you are right - it's indeed possible upstream as well.

Thanks,
