+QEMU<->ACPI BIOS CPU hotplug interface
+======================================
+
+QEMU supports CPU hotplug via ACPI. This document
+describes the interface between QEMU and the ACPI BIOS.
+
+ACPI BIOS GPE.2 handler is dedicated for notifying OS about CPU hot-add
+and hot-remove events.
+
+
+Legacy ACPI CPU hotplug interface registers
+-------------------------------------------
+
+CPU present bitmap for:
+
+- ICH9-LPC (IO port 0x0cd8-0xcf7, 1-byte access)
+- PIIX-PM (IO port 0xaf00-0xaf1f, 1-byte access)
+- One bit per CPU. Bit position reflects corresponding CPU APIC ID. Read-only.
+- The first DWORD in bitmap is used in write mode to switch from legacy
+ to modern CPU hotplug interface, write 0 into it to do switch.
+
+QEMU sets corresponding CPU bit on hot-add event and issues SCI
+with GPE.2 event set. CPU present map is read by ACPI BIOS GPE.2 handler
+to notify OS about CPU hot-add events. CPU hot-remove isn't supported.
+
+
+Modern ACPI CPU hotplug interface registers
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Register block base address:
+
+- ICH9-LPC IO port 0x0cd8
+- PIIX-PM IO port 0xaf00
+
+Register block size:
+
+- ACPI_CPU_HOTPLUG_REG_LEN = 12
+
+All accesses to registers described below, imply little-endian byte order.
+
+Reserved registers behavior:
+
+- write accesses are ignored
+- read accesses return all bits set to 0.
+
+The last stored value in 'CPU selector' must refer to a possible CPU, otherwise
+
+- reads from any register return 0
+- writes to any other register are ignored until valid value is stored into it
+
+On QEMU start, 'CPU selector' is initialized to a valid value, on reset it
+keeps the current value.
+
+Read access behavior

+ 2:
+ if set to 1 clears device remove event, set by OSPM
+ after it has emitted device eject request for the
+ selected CPU device.
+ 3:
+ if set to 1 initiates device eject, set by OSPM when it
+ triggers CPU device removal and calls _EJ0 method or by firmware
+ when bit #4 is set. In case bit #4 were set, it's cleared as
+ part of device eject.
+ 4:
+ if set to 1, OSPM hands over device eject to firmware.
+ Firmware shall issue device eject request as described above
+ (bit #3) and OSPM should not touch device eject bit (#3) in case

+
+(x86) Detecting and enabling modern CPU hotplug interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+QEMU starts with legacy CPU hotplug interface enabled. Detecting and
+switching to modern interface is based on the 2 legacy CPU hotplug features:
+
+#. Writes into CPU bitmap are ignored.
+#. CPU bitmap always has bit #0 set, corresponding to boot CPU.
+
+Use following steps to detect and enable modern CPU hotplug interface:
+
+#. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, attempting to switch to modern mode
+#. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to ensure valid selector value
+#. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register
+#. Read the 'Command data 2' register.
+ If read value is 0x0, the modern interface is enabled.
+ Otherwise legacy or no CPU hotplug interface available
+
+Get a cpu with pending event
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+#. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register.
+#. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register.
+#. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.
+#. If both bit #1 and bit #2 are clear in the value read, there is no CPU
+ with a pending event and selected CPU remains unchanged.
+#. Otherwise, read the 'Command data' register. The value read is the
+ selector of the CPU with the pending event (which is already selected).
+
+Enumerate CPUs present/non present CPUs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+#. Set the present CPU count to 0.
+#. Set the iterator to 0.
+#. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to ensure that it's in
+ a valid state and that access to other registers won't be ignored.
+#. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register to make 'Command data'
+ register return 'CPU selector' value of selected CPU
+#. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.
+#. If bit #0 is set, increment the present CPU count.
+#. Increment the iterator.
+#. Store the iterator to the 'CPU selector' register.
+#. Read the 'Command data' register.
+#. If the value read is not zero, goto 05.
+#. Otherwise store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to put it
+ into a valid state and exit.
+ The iterator at this point equals "max_cpus".
