That's not how our hypervisor works.
If you ask through the management interface, to remove a CPU from a
partition, the HV will communicate with a daemon inside the partition
that will then unplug the CPU via the right call.
I don't really understand your objections to be honest. And I fail to
see why it would be a layering violation to have the ability for the OS
to indicate in what state it wishes to relinguish a CPU to the
hypervisor, which more or less defines what is the expected latency for
getting it back later on.
