[PATCH 35/35] x86: use num_processors for possible cpus

[Yinghai Lu]

some systems that have disable cpus entries because same
  BIOS will support 2 sockets and 4 sockets and more at
  same time, BIOS just leave some disable entries, but
  those system do not support cpu hotplug. we don't need
  treat disabled_cpus as hotplug cpus.
so we can make nr_cpu_ids smaller and save more space
  (pcpu data allocations), and could make some systems run
  with logical flat instead of physical flat apic mode

-v2: change to black list instead
-v3: just remove that, and the one use possible_cpus= directly.

  * Three ways to find out the number of additional hotplug CPUs:
- * - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in ACPI/mptables use that.
  * - The user can overwrite it with possible_cpus=NUM
  * - Otherwise don't reserve additional CPUs.
  * We do this because additional CPUs waste a lot of memory.
