...Indeed!

Must have missed that update. It's right here in the documentation:
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#cpuhotplug

You do need to pre-configure the VM to enable it, as well as specify the
max number of vCPUs it can have. But once you've done that, you're good
to go.

Thanks for pointing it out.
