    [IA64] Count disabled cpus as potential hot-pluggable CPUs · a6b14fa6

    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.
