Subject: [PATCH v11 04/12] x86/smpboot: Reference count on smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector()

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@...zon.co.uk>

When bringing up a secondary CPU from do_boot_cpu(), the warm reset flag
is set in CMOS and the starting IP for the trampoline written inside the
BDA at 0x467. Once the CPU is running, the CMOS flag is unset and the
value in the BDA cleared.

To allow for parallel bringup of CPUs, add a reference count to track the
number of CPUs currently bring brought up, and clear the state only when
the count reaches zero.

Since the RTC spinlock is required to write to the CMOS, it can be used
for mutual exclusion on the refcount too.
