ACPI CPU hotplug state (is_present=_STA.PRESENT, is_enabled=_STA.ENABLED) for all the possible vCPUs MUST be initialized during machine init. This is done during the creation of the GED device. VMM/Qemu MUST expose/fake the ACPI state of the disabled vCPUs to the Guest kernel as 'present' (_STA.PRESENT) always i.e. ACPI persistent. if the 'disabled' vCPU objectes are destroyed before the GED device has been created then their ACPI hotplug state might not get initialized correctly as acpi_persistent flag is part of the CPUState. This will expose wrong status of the unplugged vCPUs to the Guest kernel.
Hence, moving the GED device creation before disabled vCPU objects get destroyed as part of the post CPU init routine.
