That is my understanding also David.

When I heard this support had been added to Solaris is stuck me as a bit
of a real world bodge to give enough flexibility to seem partitioned.
Personally I would love to see the Solaris implementation via the Source
Code which repeatedly they say is available but I can never obtain! :-).
My point was that if the CPU hotswap is done as part of the partitioning
abstraction then most of the work does not happen inside Linux.
