-Virtual CPU hotplug
-===================
-
-A complete example of vCPU hotplug (and hot-unplug) using QMP
-``device_add`` and ``device_del``.
-
-vCPU hotplug
-------------
-
-(1) Launch QEMU as follows (note that the "maxcpus" is mandatory to
-    allow vCPU hotplug)::
-
-      $ qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -no-user-config -m 2048 \
-          -nodefaults -monitor stdio -machine pc,accel=kvm,usb=off \
-          -smp 1,maxcpus=2 -cpu IvyBridge-IBRS \
-          -qmp unix:/tmp/qmp-sock,server,nowait
-
-(2) Run 'qmp-shell' (located in the source tree, under: "scripts/qmp/)
-    to connect to the just-launched QEMU::
-
-      $> ./qmp-shell -p -v /tmp/qmp-sock
-      [...]
-      (QEMU)
-
-(3) Find out which CPU types could be plugged, and into which sockets::
-
-      (QEMU) query-hotpluggable-cpus
-      {
-          "execute": "query-hotpluggable-cpus",
-          "arguments": {}
-      }
-      {
-          "return": [
-              {
-                  "type": "IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu",
-                  "vcpus-count": 1,
-                  "props": {
-                      "socket-id": 1,
-                      "core-id": 0,
-                      "thread-id": 0
-                  }
-              },
-              {
-                  "qom-path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
-                  "type": "IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu",
-                  "vcpus-count": 1,
-                  "props": {
-                      "socket-id": 0,
-                      "core-id": 0,
-                      "thread-id": 0
-                  }
-              }
-          ]
-      }
-      (QEMU)
-
-(4) The ``query-hotpluggable-cpus`` command returns an object for CPUs
-    that are present (containing a "qom-path" member) or which may be
-    hot-plugged (no "qom-path" member).  From its output in step (3), we
-    can see that ``IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu`` is present in socket 0,
-    while hot-plugging a CPU into socket 1 requires passing the listed
-    properties to QMP ``device_add``::
-
-      (QEMU) device_add id=cpu-2 driver=IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu socket-id=1 core-id=0 thread-id=0
-      {
-          "execute": "device_add",
-          "arguments": {
-              "socket-id": 1,
-              "driver": "IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu",
-              "id": "cpu-2",
-              "core-id": 0,
-              "thread-id": 0
-          }
-      }
-      {
-          "return": {}
-      }
-      (QEMU)
-
-(5) Optionally, run QMP `query-cpus-fast` for some details about the
-    vCPUs::
-
-      (QEMU) query-cpus-fast
-      {
-          "execute": "query-cpus-fast",
-          "arguments": {}
-      }
-      {
-          "return": [
-              {
-                  "qom-path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
-                  "target": "x86_64",
-                  "thread-id": 11534,
-                  "cpu-index": 0,
-                  "props": {
-                      "socket-id": 0,
-                      "core-id": 0,
-                      "thread-id": 0
-                  },
-                  "arch": "x86"
-              },
-              {
-                  "qom-path": "/machine/peripheral/cpu-2",
-                  "target": "x86_64",
-                  "thread-id": 12106,
-                  "cpu-index": 1,
-                  "props": {
-                      "socket-id": 1,
-                      "core-id": 0,
-                      "thread-id": 0
-                  },
-                  "arch": "x86"
-              }
-          ]
-      }
-      (QEMU)
-
-vCPU hot-unplug
----------------
-
-From the 'qmp-shell', invoke the QMP ``device_del`` command::
-
-      (QEMU) device_del id=cpu-2
-      {
-          "execute": "device_del",
-          "arguments": {
-              "id": "cpu-2"
-          }
-      }
-      {
-          "return": {}
-      }
-      (QEMU)
-
-.. note::
-    vCPU hot-unplug requires guest cooperation; so the ``device_del``
-    command above does not guarantee vCPU removal -- it's a "request to
-    unplug".  At this point, the guest will get a System Control
-    Interrupt (SCI) and calls the ACPI handler for the affected vCPU
-    device.  Then the guest kernel will bring the vCPU offline and tell
-    QEMU to unplug it.
