There are only a few x86_64 specific codes on the patch series, so it should
work for both x86_64 and i386. Currently cpu/memory hotplug works stable against
x86_64 kernel, it still has many issues for i386, so we can not do the testing
for emualtor on i386 kernel, I'd prefer to keep the document for x86_64 only.

I will check the documentation once again, thanks for the careful review from Randy.
