The discussion on the actual change seems to have pointed out all
needs of change, but what I wasn't able to understand yet is why
this is needed in the first place. From hypervisor pov, so far it's been
up to the guest which CPUs get onlined/offlined, and the interface
to request offlining (not an issue for onlining) was - afaict - a purely
voluntary one. Why does this change with PVH? Any such ratonale
should be put in the commit message.
