Not exactly.  To set  CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n  I had to do 
( not sure steps are really required ) :-

1) kernel/power/Kconfig.
Step 1
config PM_SLEEP_SMP
        bool
        depends on SMP
        depends on ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE || ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE
        depends on PM_SLEEP
#       select HOTPLUG_CPU
        default y

2) arch/x86/Kconfig
Step 2
config HOTPLUG_CPU
#       bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
        def_bool n
#       depends on SMP && HOTPLUG
        ---help---
          Say Y here to allow turning CPUs off and on. CPUs can be
          controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu.
          ( Note: power management support will enable this option
            automatically on SMP systems. )
          Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.




But , the result should be the same. HOTPLUG_CPU feature should be broken.
It's second kernel been built. I have not tested it yet.
  First one with HOTPLUG_CPU=y and ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE=n seems to work OK.

Does it compile as is with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n ?

I am curious about this myself. I run the base 2.6.34 kernel (xenified) right now.    http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2008/10/12/3624204 was created for being able to build without it set. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=xen-devel&i=E2263E4A5B2284449EEBD0AAB751098418E5557549%40PDSMSX501.ccr.corp.intel.com shows work for physical CPU hot-add on the hypervisor.   This makes me think that you could not do any physical hot adding of CPU's but that other functionality would not be impacted.  Is it that simple?
