Subject: [PATCH 12/13] x86/acpi: Do not attempt to bring up secondary CPUs in kexec case

ACPI MADT doesn't allow to offline CPU after it got woke up. It limits
kexec: target kernel won't be able to use more than one CPU.

Zero out mailbox address in the ACPI MADT wakeup structure to indicate
that the mailbox is not usable.

This is Linux-specific protocol and not reflected in ACPI spec.

Booting the target kernel with signle CPU is enough to cover the most
common case for kexec -- kdump.
