Latest code for cpu Hotplug designed to be controled via the QOM infrastructure.
cpu on S390 are treated as devices via a new platform independent
infrastructure I designed to allow this "new way" to exist with the "old way"
of representing cpus.

The Qemu command line now allows "-device s390-cpu" which will instantiate a 
cpu device. This is additive to anything that might be specified on the -smp
parameter.

Devices can be hot plugged via the monitor command "device_add s390-cpu".
Hotplugged cpus are created in the configured state and can be used by the
guest after the guest onlines the cpu by: 
"echo 1 > /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpuN/online"

Hot unplugging is currently not implemented by this code.
