one of the reasons is that you reusing legacy hw/acpi/cpu_hotplug.h,
see below for suggestion.

I don't particularly like exposing cpu hotplug internals for outside code
and then making that code do plumbing hoping that nothing will explode
in the future.

build_cpus_aml() takes event_handler_method to create a method that
can be called by platform. What I suggest is to call that method here
instead of trying to expose CPU hotplug internals and manually building
call path here.
aka:
  build_cpus_aml(event_handler_method = PATH_TO_GED_DEVICE.CSCN)
and then call here 
  aml_append(if_ctx, aml_call0(CSCN));
which will call  CSCN in GED scope, that was be populated by
build_cpus_aml() to do cpu scan properly without need to expose
cpu hotplug internal names and then trying to fixup conflicts caused by that.

PS:
we should do the same for memory hotplug, we see in context above
