With Hyper-V enabled CPU hotplug stops working. The CPU appears in device
manager on Windows but does not appear in peformance monitor and control
panel.

The root of the problem is the following. Windows checks
HV_X64_CPU_DYNAMIC_PARTITIONING_AVAILABLE bit in CPUID. The presence of
this bit is enough to cure the situation.

Add option 'hv-cpuhotplug' to control this behavior.

Is "cpuhotplug" some fixed HyperV name? Otherwise we generally use a
dashes convention for QOM properties, i.e. "hv-cpu-hotplug".

This name is for libvirt. We can take one one. This is not a problem.

Roman Kagan has proposed verbally a bit different approach.
He suggests not to introduce the option but
check here that HyperV is enabled (any single option is enough
to face the problem) and CPU hotplug is enabled and automatically
enable this bit.

Paolo, Andreas, is there any opinion on this?

As far as I can see for the time being we lend such decisions to
libvirt. But this bit does not require any processing.
