We run linux as a guest in Xen environment. When we used the xen tools
(xm vcpu-set <n>) to hot add and remove vcpu to and from the guest, we
encountered the failure on vcpu removal. We found the reason is that it
did't go to really remove cpu in the cpu removal code path.
This patch adds acpi_bus_hot_remove_device in acpi_process_hotplug_notify to
fix this issue. With this patch, it works fine for us.
