I've poked around a bit and can't find any reference to how to actually get a bugzilla account
bugzilla.tianocore.org. Any pointers? I'm sure I had one at one stage, but
trying every plausible email address and the forgotten password link got me nowhere.

Really annoying without it as a hypervisor can't query if a guest can do anything useful
if the host does virtual CPU hotplug via this newly added route.
Given this is new functionality and there is non trivial effort required by the
host to instantiate such a CPU it would be nice to be able to find out if the
feature is supported by the Guest OS without having to basically suck it an see
with hypervisors having to do a trial hotplug just to see if it 'might' work.
> - what breaks (if anything) without the proposed _OSC bits.
Nothing breaks - you can merrily poke in hotplugged CPUs with the attendant creation
of resources in the host and have them disappear into a black hole.
That's ugly but not broken as such. Hopefully a hypervisor will not keep trying
until the first attempt either succeeds or fails.

If a guest says it supports this feature, you would hope it supports it for the
number of CPUs that have the present bit set but the enabled not.
I'd clarify that in the text rather than provide a means of querying the number of CPUs supported.
Number wouldn't be sufficient anyway as it wouldn't indicate 'which' CPUs are supported.
Nothing says they have to be contiguous or lowest IDs etc.

Sigh. Yes, that could be done at the cost of every guest having to be made aware of every
hypervisor impdef mechanism. Trying to avoid that mess is why I think an _OSC makes sense
as then everyone can use the same control.
No particular reason we should use ACPI at all for VMs :)

Thanks for the update.
Overall this is a question we need to resolve soon. If this code otherwise goes in linux
without the OSC we will always need to support the 'suck it and see' approach as we'll never
know if the guest fell down the hole. Thus if not added soon we might as well not add it at
all and we'll all be looking at the code and thinking "that's ugly and shouldn't
have been necessary" for years to come.
+CC Kangkang as he might be able to help get this started again.
