Subject: [RFC PATCH -v2 4/5] x86: according to nr_cpu_ids to decide if need to
 leave logical flat

should use nr_cpu_ids instead of num_processor, in case we have hotplug cpus.

if current only have 8 cpus is up, but if we will have more cpus that
will be hot added later, we should use physical flat at first.

nr_cpu_ids is the total cpus that could be supported.

-v2: per linus, chenage default_setup_apic_routing to _init, and call it for uni_processor
