This patch provide Xen physical cpus online/offline sys interface. User can use it for their own purpose, like power saving: by offlining some cpus when light workload it save power greatly. Its basic workflow is, user online/offline cpu via sys interface, then hypercall xen to implement, after done xen inject virq back to dom0, and then dom0 sync cpu status.

Individual physical cpu attributes are contained in
subdirectories named by the Xen's logical cpu number, e.g.:

When running under Xen platform, it provide user interface
