[IA64] Count disabled cpus as potential hot-pluggable CPUs
Have a facility to account for potentially hot-pluggable CPUs. ACPI doesnt give a determinstic method to find hot-pluggable CPUs. Hence we use 2 methods to assist. - BIOS can mark potentially hot-pluggable CPUs as disabled in the MADT tables. - User can specify the number of hot-pluggable CPUs via parameter additional_cpus=X The option is enabled only if ACPI_CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y which enables the physical hotplug option. Without which user can still use logical onlining and offlining of CPUs by enabling CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y Adds more bits to cpu_possible_map for potentially hot-pluggable cpus.
