It's not defined in the spec. QEMU defines a bunch of registers to do
that, and provides AML that works with those registers.
While these registers can be separated from the ACPI code in QEMU...

... QEMU does exactly this, it uses the "general purpose event" (GPE)
mechanism to trigger the parsing of the AML. When you hot-plug/unplug a
CPU or memory, an SCI (system control interrupt - the ACPI IRQ) is
triggered in the guest and that's not entirely disconnected from ACPI.
Perhaps you could treat it as a shared level-triggered interrupt in DT?
I don't know.

Yes.
