Subject: [PATCH] x86/acpi: Don't add CPUs that are not online capable

A number of systems are showing "hotplug capable" CPUs when they
are not really hotpluggable.  This is because the MADT has extra
CPU entries to support different CPUs that may be inserted into
the socket with different numbers of cores.

The ACPI spec is clear that the Online Capable bit in the
MADT should be used to determine whether or not a CPU is hotplug
capable when the enabled bit is not set.
