Impact: add new sysfs files. Add sysfs files "kernel_max" and "offline" to display the max CPU index allowed (NR_CPUS-1), and the map of cpus that are offline. Cpus can be offlined via HOTPLUG, disabled by the BIOS ACPI tables, or if they exceed the number of cpus allowed by the NR_CPUS config option, or the "maxcpus=NUM" kernel start parameter. The "possible_cpus=NUM" parameter can also extend the number of possible cpus allowed, in which case the cpus not present at startup will be in the offline state. (These cpus can be HOTPLUGGED ON after system startup [pending a follow-on patch to provide the capability via the /sys/devices/sys/cpu/cpuN/online mechanism to bring them online.]) By design, the "offlined cpus > possible cpus" display will always use the following formats: * all possible cpus online: "x$" or "x-y$" * some possible cpus offline: ".*,x$" or ".*,x-y$" where: x == number of possible cpus (nr_cpu_ids); and y == number of cpus >= NR_CPUS or maxcpus (if y > x). One use of this feature is for distros to select (or configure) the appropriate kernel to install for the resident system. Notes: * cpus offlined <= possible cpus will be printed for all architectures. * cpus offlined > possible cpus will only be printed for arches that set 'total_cpus' [X86 only in this patch].
