Adding Viktor, Andreas.

Andreas, since we are the first ones going forward with cpu is a device (on a 
command level)
we still have to provide the old cpu_add  and query commands to make libvirt 
work regarding
cpu hotplugging.
Are you ok with having the x86 commands as wrappers around the new ones?
