xen/pcpu: Xen physical cpus online/offline sys interface
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.
