Well, this nice patch (in 2.6.21) ought to have fixed it:

commit 47e627bc8c9a70392d2049e6af5bd55fae61fe53
Author: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
Date:   Mon Feb 12 00:54:43 2007 -0800

   [PATCH] hotplug: Allow modules to use the cpu hotplug notifiers even if !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
   
   The following patchset allows a host with running virtual machines to be
   suspended and, on at least a subset of the machines tested, resumed.  Note
   that this is orthogonal to suspending and resuming an individual guest to a
   file.
   
   A side effect of implementing suspend/resume is that cpu hotplug is now
   supported.  This should please the owners of big iron.
   
   This patch:
   
   KVM wants the cpu hotplug notifications, both for cpu hotplug itself, but more
   commonly for host suspend/resume.
   
   In order to avoid extensive #ifdefs, provide stubs when CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG is
   not defined.
   
   In all, we have four cases:
   
   - UP: register and unregister stubbed out
   - SMP+hotplug: full register and unregister
   - SMP, no hotplug, core: register as __init, unregister stubbed
         (cpus are brought up during core initialization)
   - SMP, no hotplug, module: register and unregister stubbed out
         (cpus cannot be brought up during module lifetime)
