Subject: [PATCH v5 06/28] docs/specs/acpi_cpu_hotplug: Remove legacy cpu hotplug descriptions
Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2025 00:28:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202162835.3227894-7-zhao1.liu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202162835.3227894-1-zhao1.liu@intel.com>
Legacy cpu hotplug has been removed totally and machines start with
modern cpu hotplug interface directly.
Therefore, update the documentation to describe current QEMU cpu hotplug
logic.
