From: Pingfan Liu <pi...@redhat.com>
This series addresses the nr_cpus issue for PowerPC without re-ordering
cpu number. To save the memory used by percpu area, it also limits the
possible cpu numbers by allowing hole in cpu_possible_mask.
Because the last cpu number will bigger than nr_cpu_ids in this way,
some pointer arrays indexed by cpu should be extended to hold the
pointer, e.g. paca_ptrs.
Please notice that this series still has some issue (some cpu can not be
brought up), but before I resolve it. Please share your thoughts about
it.
Thanks
