Nice work. I will help review the patches.
Other than the CPU hotplug support, we are also seeking the guest VM
powerdown support via ACPI. This feature is important for management
tool to control guest VMs. In fact I had a similar GPIO patch for
powerdown recently. Given that you already posted a more complete
version, I wonder if you can add this feature to your patchset? FYI, I
attached my powerdown patch in this email. Here is a brief list of items:
* DSDT description of power button (to-be-done)
* Hook up with qemu_qemu_register_powerdown_notifier() with the GPIO IRQ
Feel free to add my name as signed-off-by in this feature if you decide
to add it.
Thanks,

Subject: [mach-virt GPIO RFC 2/2] arm: Hook up QEMU powerdown notifier to GPIO
interrupt line
Currently mach-virt model doesn't support powerdown request. Guest VM
doesn't react to system_powerdown from monitor console (or QMP) because
there is no communication mechanism for such requests. This patch registers
GPIO IRQ with powerdown notification. So guest VM can receive notification
when such powerdown request is triggered.
