I checked the generic version of setup_nr_cpu_ids(), from codes, they
are different with my understanding.

kernel/smp.c
void __init setup_nr_cpu_ids(void)
{
        set_nr_cpu_ids(find_last_bit(cpumask_bits(cpu_possible_mask), NR_CPUS) + 1);
}

include/linux/cpumask.h:
#define num_possible_cpus()     cpumask_weight(cpu_possible_mask)
