In x86 land it's been certainly helpful to abstract hotplug 
capabilities.  For ARM it could be the same.  Not so much for PCI (ARM 
probably can use native PCIe hotplug and standard hotplug controllers; 
on x86 we started with PCI and also have to deal with Windows's lack of 
support for SHPC), but it could help for CPU and memory hotplug.

Peter, do we still want mach-virt support in QEMU then?
