[PATCH] x86_64: Change init sections for CPU hotplug support

This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past
boot to support cpu hotplug.

Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from
Andi Kleen.  Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other
archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont
mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and
__devinitdata.

If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all
existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit,
and __cpudevinit.
