The command 'xl vcpu-set 0 0', issued in dom0, will crash dom0:

Instead of trying to fight the symptoms, I think avoiding to offline
the last cpu would make more sense.

I don't think calling xen_arch_unregister_cpu() just a few lines down
disable_hotplug_cpu() and then setting it as not present will result in
a good user experience.

Which one is the "last" one? I mean, if cpu#0 never can be offlined than perhaps the code should check for just that and return early. But if cpu#0 could be disabled while some other cpu is the remaining cpu, some other check is needed I think.

num_online_cpus() == 1

Well, apparently the fix is to leave cpu#0 online because of a backtrace like that:

I'd go with testing whether cpu_is_hotpluggable(cpu) returns true.
Per default this will return false for cpu 0.

Additionally I'd really like a test for num_online_cpus() > 1

BTW: I'm not sure this WARN triggers because it is cpu#0. Are you sure
the tested cpu in that WARN was 0? After all the test is just running
on cpu#0 and I don't think it can be offline already.

If I leave cpu#0 alone, no WARN is triggered.
I resend with test cpu_is_hotpluggable.
