To me it is kinda implied. But I have sent email to TDX spec owner to see
whether we can say it more explicitly.

It has below additional check:

if (invalid_phys_cpuid(pr->phys_id))
return -ENODEV;

status = acpi_evaluate_integer(pr->handle, "_STA", NULL, &sta);
if (ACPI_FAILURE(status) || !(sta & ACPI_STA_DEVICE_PRESENT))
return -ENODEV;


I don't know exactly when will the first "invalid_phys_cpuid()" case happen, but
the CPU is enumerated as "present" only after the second check. I.e. if BIOS is
buggy and somehow sends a ACPI CPU hot-add event to kernel w/o having the CPU
being actually hot-added, the kernel just returns -ENODEV here.

So to me, adding to acpi_map_cpu() is more reasonable, because by reaching here,
it is sure that a real CPU is being hot-added.
