Is that so? I've seen several instances of the opposite, and it
makes to me not to pollute the function scope with one-use
variables when there are usually enough variables that actually
need to be accessed throughout the function. But I can leave the
declaration where it is if you like it better that way.

Right, I meant to include the explanation but forgot :)

It's very simple, anyway: the version number was wrong, since
QEMU introduced query-hotpluggable-cpus in 2.7 rather than 2.5.
