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

Browse Source 
Minor updates to earlier patch.
- Added to documentation to add ia64 as well.
- Minor clarification on how to use disabled cpus
- used plain max instead of max_t per Andew Morton.

@ -44,10 +44,20 @@ maxcpus=n Restrict boot time cpus to n. Say if you have 4 cpus, using
maxcpus=2 will only boot 2. You can choose to bring the
other cpus later online, read FAQ's for more info.
additional_cpus=n [x86_64 only] use this to limit hotpluggable cpus.
This option sets
additional_cpus*=n Use this to limit hotpluggable cpus. This option sets
cpu_possible_map = cpu_present_map + additional_cpus
(*) Option valid only for following architectures
- x86_64, ia64
ia64 and x86_64 use the number of disabled local apics in ACPI tables MADT
to determine the number of potentially hot-pluggable cpus. The implementation
should only rely on this to count the #of cpus, but *MUST* not rely on the
apicid values in those tables for disabled apics. In the event BIOS doesnt
mark such hot-pluggable cpus as disabled entries, one could use this
parameter "additional_cpus=x" to represent those cpus in the cpu_possible_map.
