ACPI firmware can trigger the events to add and remove CPUs, but the

Print a warning when this happens.

error message

This gives early warning on arm64 systems that don't support
CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_PRESENT_CPU, as making CPUs not present has
side effects for other parts of the system.

Maybe a warning message is enough, but a error message
is also fine, I think.
