Subject: [PATCH -v2 1/5] use nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids early

on x86, before prefill_possible_map(), nr_cpu_ids will be NR_CPUS aka CONFIG_NR_CPUS

add nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids. so we can simulate cpus <=8 are installed on
normal config.

-v2: accordging to Christoph, acpi_numa_init should use nr_cpu_ids in stead of
     NR_CPUS.
