Right. And we should also ensure that nobody messes directly with
cpu_possible_map as well. I have written up a patch for ia64 (see below).
Sorry, I haven't even compile tested it - I neither have the toolchain nor the
hardware. I hope it works!
But don't expect the above printk statement to print the right value if you are
running a kernel which has the patch posted at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/286
applied. That is another patch that can alter boot-up time and many related
things. So, it would be best to test Venki's patch + following fix without having
Arjan's patch applied.

Subject: [PATCH] ia64: Don't use cpu_set()/cpu_clear() over cpu_[online|possible]_map
Directly using cpu_set() and cpu_clear() on cpu_online_map or cpu_possible_map
is strongly discouraged. Use the functions set_cpu_online() and
set_cpu_possible() instead. This also means that the new implementation of
num_[online|possible]_cpus can track all changes to cpu_[online|possible]_mask
and hence give the correct results always.
