Changelog:
  since v1:
    * s/pc_find_cpu/pc_find_cpu_slot/ + add comment to it
    * add more sanity checks for socket-id/core-id/thread-id and 'apic'
      properties
    * include device_del cpu patches and related fixes to x86 CPU/apic

Series enabling usage of -device/device_add for adding CPUs as devices
and device_del for removing them. Using -device/device_add in combination
with query-hotpluggable-cpus QMP command allows to hotplug CPUs at any
not used possition and then safely migrate QEMU instance by specifying
hotadded CPUs on target with help of -device CLI option like with any
other device.
Having been able to hotadd arbitrary CPUs and migrate also opens poosibility
to hot-remove arbitrary CPUs, which this series enables by permitting using
device_del with x86 CPUs.

Series depends on following not yet commited patchsets:
 1: [PATCH v2 0/6] cpus: make "-cpu cpux, features" global properties
      https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg02579.html
    2: [PATCH v2 00/10] globals: Clean up validation and error checking
         https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg05662.html
 3: [PATCH v2 2/2] qapi: keep names in 'CpuInstanceProperties' in sync with 
struct CPUCore
     https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg06972.html

Tested with RHEL7.2 guest including ping/pong migration with adding/removing
CPUs in between.
CPU removal only slightly tested (~ for a week) so please give it more attention
when testing.
