Subject: [028/107] xen: support CONFIG_MAXSMP

2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Andrew Jones <drjones@...hat.com>

commit 900cba8881b39dfbc7c8062098504ab93f5387a8 upstream.

The MAXSMP config option requires CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, which in turn
requires we init the memory for the maps while we bring up the cpus.
MAXSMP also increases NR_CPUS to 4096. This increase in size exposed an
issue in the argument construction for multicalls from
xen_flush_tlb_others. The args should only need space for the actual
number of cpus.

Also in 2.6.39 it exposes a bootup problem.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
IP: [<ffffffff8157a1d3>] set_cpu_sibling_map+0x123/0x30d
...
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff81039a3f>] ? xen_restore_fl_direct_reloc+0x4/0x4
[<ffffffff819dc4db>] xen_smp_prepare_cpus+0x36/0x135
..

[v2: Updated to compile on 3.0]
[v3: Updated to compile when CONFIG_SMP is not defined]
