Subject: [PATCH/RFC] cpuhp code and data usage on UP systems


On !SMP systems, we end up with the following array definition:

static struct cpuhp_step cpuhp_ap_states[] = {
        [CPUHP_ONLINE] = {
                .name                   = "online",
                .startup.single         = NULL,
                .teardown.single        = NULL,
        },
};

where CPUHP_ONLINE = 187. That means up to 99.5% of this array is unused 
but still allocated in the kernel's .data section i.e. 3760 bytes.

The same issue exists with cpuhp_bp_states being 1720 bytes.

The goal of this patch is mainly about illustrating the issue and 
reducing .data usage. I have no clear idea when this stuff is really 
needed besides standard CPU hotplug. Not knowing exactly what I'm doing 
here, I made it conditional on CONFIG_SMP for now. There might be a case 
for moving that code to a separate file (cpuhp.c maybe?) and omitting it 
from the kernel when unneeded.

Comments?
