CPU hotplug in qemu-kvm has been broken for a long time. For the next (1.2) version, it will be removed and replaced with the version grew up in upstream qemu. > I notice that this was reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878422 > with some kind of resolution there (perhaps hotplugging was just disabled?) The patch in that LP bugreport is merely to disable CPU hotplug, yes, but it is not entirely correct, as it still keeps the capability exposed to libvirt, which still tries to hotplug CPUs on request, even if this makes no effect. I've a question. Why do you think the severity of this bug is "important"? CPU hotplug has been broken forever, I think squeeze version is already broken, and you're the first to notice this.
