What are the reciprocation of turning off the ability to HOTPLUG_CPU? Is this 
feature ever used by XEN?

Thanks.

Does it compile as is with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n ?

I am curious about this myself. I run the base 2.6.34 kernel (xenified) right now. http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2008/10/12/3624204 was created for being able to build without it set. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=xen-devel&i=E2263E4A5B2284449EEBD0AAB751098418E5557549%40PDSMSX501.ccr.corp.intel.com shows work for physical CPU hot-add on the hypervisor. This makes me think that you could not do any physical hot adding of CPU's but that other functionality would not be impacted. Is it that simple?
