You should add a function to kernel/cpu.c which you can call in order to
disable cpu hotplug instead of exporting its private data structures.

Yup. Also, considering the fact that enable_nonboot_cpus() can reset
the cpu_hotplug_disabled flag, I would suggest the following:

a) create one additional state for cpu_hotplug_disabled, something
like

#define PERMANENTLY_DISABLED -1

b) Define a function kernel/cpu.c

void disable_cpu_hotplug_perm()
{
cpu_hotplug_disabled = PERMANENTLY_DISABLED;
}

and call it in rtas.c

c) Check for status of cpu_hotplug_disabled in functions cpu_up,
cpu_down, enable_nonboot_cpus and disable_nonboot_cpus and
if cpu_hotplug_disabled == PERMANENTLY_DISABLED,
return bypassing further code.

Thoughts?

How did you try to hot plug a cpu? Through sysfs/hmc/somethingelse ?
