Subject: [Patch2/2] fix wrong proc cpuinfo on x64

in 2.6.24-rc1 kernel, 
The /proc/cpuinfo display is wrong.

Another issue is that it will display bogus cpus with wrong information
if the kernel is compiled with a big CONFIG_NR_CPU.

That is because before a cpu in cpu_present_map is up, c->cpu_index of
that cpu is 0.
thus the cpu_online(c->cpu_index) check in show_cpuinfo is invalid.

This patch will let cpuinfo_op use cpu_online_map instead of
cpu_present_map to iterate cpus.
