Subject: [RFC PATCH -v2 2/5] x86: use dmi check to treat disabled cpus as
hotplug cpus.
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
