[PATCH] Relay: add CPU hotplug support

Browse Source 
Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something
that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added.

unplug isn't supported by this patch.  The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.
