[pve-devel] qemu2.7: cpu hotplug && hot-unplug v1

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

So I just rebased my git branch to the v2.7.0 release tag, and sent the
patches for pve-qemu-kvm 2.7 to dietmar directly (too big for the list
since there were many changes and I ended up squashing lots of small
fixup commits... which means lots of files got rewritten in the
git-diff). If all goes well you should see the update in the
pve-qemu-kvm.git some time next week.
