Great.  Oops, last review pass revealed a bug in the following chunk.

@@ -1259,9 +1259,16 @@ ssize_t __init pcpu_embed_first_chunk(size_t static_size, size_t reserved_size,
 	}

 	/* return the leftover and copy */
-	for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
+	for (cpu = 0; cpu < nr_cpu_ids; cpu++) {
 		void *ptr = pcpue_ptr + cpu * pcpue_unit_size;

+		if (cpu_possible(cpu)) {
+			free_bootmem(__pa(ptr + pcpue_size),
+				     pcpue_unit_size - pcpue_size);
+			memcpy(ptr, __per_cpu_load, static_size);
+		} else
+			free_bootmem(__pa(ptr), pcpue_unit_size);
+
 		free_bootmem(__pa(ptr + pcpue_size),
 			     pcpue_unit_size - pcpue_size);
 		memcpy(ptr, __per_cpu_load, static_size);

The if-else block should replace the original free_bootmem()/memcpy()
not added in front of it.  Fixed.  Will reply with updated patch.

Thanks.
