hi, Paul
	I saw your reply on patchwork.kernel.org, but I did not find your email 
in my mailbox, you might forget to cc to me.

	I think that your register_cpu_node interface seems good, but this will 
remove the interface register_cpu. it is not the original purpose of the 
emulator, we want to emulate the oringal process, but we did not want to change
the old interface, that is a rule.

	I want to share some piece of codes, and I did not want to do so much change,
so I call register_cpu and register_cpu_emu in the same function. yes, it is a 
painful interface, I will add a function arch_register_cpu_emu to solve it.

Real hotplug process:
arch_register_cpu
	- call register_cpu

Emulated hotplug process:
arch_register_cpu_emu
	- call register_cpu_emu
