I believe you are assuming, that all the QOM possible vCPUs objects will
exists (and hence realized) for the entire life time of the VM? If yes, then
we need to first debate on that as we cannot let presence of all the possible
vCPUs affect the boot time. This is one of the key requirement from this
feature.
