Looks like right direction that would allow to drop cpu_added_notifiers
which is not able to pass/handle errors and switch to unified hotplug handler
API which allows to pass errors and would allow to cancel device_add in case of
error.

PS:
Gu Zheng,

Please grep for qemu_register_cpu_added_notifier(), you've missed to convert
rtc usage of CPU notifier.

I'd prefer this to go in before you device_add/add cpu series.
