Thanks for heads up. Libvirt already uses device_add if
'query-hotpluggable-cpus' command is available and 'query-machines'
returns 'hotpluggable-cpus: yes' for given machine type. It only falls
back to cpu-add.

Thanks, queued on machine-next.

Being only documentation updates, I consider it to be reasonable
to be included after soft freeze.
