Not for HVM guests (PV guests will only reach this point after target cpu has been marked as down by the hypervisor).

We need at least to have a message similar to what native_cpu_die() prints on cpu_wait_death() failure. And I think we should not call the two routines below (three, actually --- there is also xen_teardown_timer() below, which is not part of the diff).

xen_smp_intr_free(cpu);
        xen_uninit_lock_cpu(cpu);
