If a CPU selected with the "cpu" command is hot-unplugged then "info cpus" causes QEMU to exit: (qemu) device_del cpu1 (qemu) info cpus qemu:qemu_cpu_kick_thread: No such process
I could verify that this happens with x86 and ppc, but I guess s390x is also impacted. This series tries to fix the issue by using object_ref() and object_unref() in the monitor code. For this to work on ppc, some preliminary work is needed to let QOM handle the CPU object lifecycle.
