I'm not convinced by above arguments yet (perhaps I don't see a problem
you are observing), so I'd like to keep cpu hotplug isolated/not exposed
as much as possible unless it's proven that it will not work as is.

I just don't get why you have to call CPU Scan explicitly from arm/virt
side. (maybe my suggestion was lost in translation/was not clear enough)
Let's pretend that hw/i386/acpi-build.c is an arm/virt code and demo
what I was suggesting.

this way build_cpus_aml() will create and populate with scan
\\_SB.GED.CPEV method.

which is then called by 
GED._EVT()
    ...
    if cpuhotplug
          \\_SB.GED.CPEV()
    ...

there is no multiplexing of cpuhp event in build_cpus_aml,
the only event multiplexer is GED._EVT() as it should be.
And you don't have to expose cpu hotplug internals to any
other place[s].

PS:
For legacy cphp handling acpi/cpu.c has only _INI method
that is created when opts.has_legacy_cphp is true.
we should be able to get rid of it when 2.6 machine type is removed.
But ARM [or anything else] don't have to be aware of it
if you use static initializer like it's done in hw/i386/acpi-build.c
and just ignore non relevant fields.
