Just wondering if

1. Instead of using -1 for all cpus, we should do
	for_each_online_cpu() {
		opal_numm_set_ptcr(...)
	}

2. In cpu hotplug path do the same when onlining and set to NULL on
offlining?

I think we should definitely try and become hotplug aware from the OS
view point and drive it from the OS

What do you think?
