This patch does exactly that: it makes sure cpu_hotplug is not compiled
on ARM64.
Given that this patch is for drivers/xen/Makefile, normally it goes via
Konrad's tree.

This is more philosophical than practical, but I would expect this
limitation to go away soon, and be able to compile cpu_hotplug without
issues on ARM and ARM64 too.
