QE tested this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.2.x86_64 and 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64

Tested two scenarios.

S1. For RHEL6.5 & win2012 & rhel7.0 guest
Boot guest with machine type rhel6.0.0 ~ rhel6.5.0 & pc on rhel7.0 host

result:
hotplug vcpu->works

S2. For RHEL6.5 & win2012 guest.
1.Boot guest with machine type rhel6.0.0 ~ rhel6.5.0 on rhel6.6 host.
2.migration from rhel6.6 -> rhel7.0 
3.hotplug vcpu on rhel7.0

result:
hotplug vcpu->works

so, Base on this testing result. This bug is fixed.


additional.
For rhel6.6 host.
# uname -r
2.6.32-459.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.425.el6.x86_64
Comment 6 FuXiangChun 2014-05-08 21:38:20 EDT 
Jan,
As far as QE know, we support vcpu hotplug from rhel6.3. Current, according to my testing result as comment5. vcpu can be hotpluged successfully with -M RHEL6.0~6.2 as well, It is expected?
Comment 7 juzhang 2014-05-08 21:40:18 EDT 
Seems we need to needinfo paolo.
Comment 8 Karen Noel 2014-05-09 07:32:22 EDT 
There are 3 components: host, machine type and guest OS

1. KVM supports vcpu inplug starting with RHEL 6.4 host. (6.3 was tech preview)

2. Any rhel6.y.0 machine type can be used. 

3. Any guest OS that supports CPU hotplug will work.

So, the RHEL7 behavior matches RHEL6. 

Thanks.
