[PATCHv5 0/3] enable nr_cpus for powerpc

[Pingfan Liu]

It is a long time since my last v4 [1].

The code has undergone great changes. The paca[] array has been
reorganized and indexed by paca_ptrs[], which dramatically decreases the
memory consumption even if there are many unpresent cpus in the middle.

However, reordering the logical cpu numbers can further decrease the
size of paca_ptrs[] in the kdump case. So I keep [1/3], which
rotate-shifts the cpu's sequence number in the device tree to obtain the
logical cpu id.

Patch [2-3/3] make efforts to decrease the nr_cpus to be less than or
equal to two.

Pingfan Liu (3):
  powerpc/setup: Loosen the mapping between cpu logical id and its seq
    in dt
  powerpc/setup: Handle the case when boot_cpuid greater than nr_cpus
  powerpc/setup: alloc extra paca_ptrs to hold boot_cpuid
