Before we start tweaking and enhancing hardware, I think
it makes sense to document what we currently have, to make
sure we stay compatible.
This documents the hotplug interface for piix.
Stubs for cpu hotplug, PM.

+QEMU exposes the following registers to guests,
+intended primarily for use by the ACPI interface.
+
+PCI Hotplug
+----
+
+Events use the standard GPE register:
+GPE  0xafe0 - an ACPI GPE register
+
+Hotplug events set GPE bit 1 (mask 0x2)
+
+The following registers are used for PCI hotplug.
+Each register is 32 bit (4 bytes) long, and has little endian format.
+Bits 0-31 in each register correspond to slots 0-31 on the root bus,
+respectively.
+
+UP   0xae00 - RO - Bit set by host on device insertion (note:existing implementations
+                   trigger device check event)
+DOWN 0xae04 - RO - Bit set by host on user eject request
+EJ0  0xae08 - WO - Bit set by guest removes all power to device
+RMV  0xae0c - RO - Bit set by host if slot supports hotplug
+                   (can not change while guest is up)
