[PATCH v6 03/12] x86/topology.c: Support functions for CPU0 online/offline

[Fenghua Yu]

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

If CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU is turned on, CPU0 hotplug feature is enabled
by default.

If CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU is not turned on, CPU0 hotplug feature is not
enabled by default. The kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug can enable CPU0 hotplug
feature at boot.
