Yes, in our current version of qemu-xen, a CPU can not be hotplug.

When pc_new_cpu is called, there is a check to see if this object (cpu)
can be hotplug to the machine. The original patch series was introducing
that, I think. So it would require few more patches from QEMU which
would made the backport more complicated.

And the notifier depend on the creation of new object cpu.
