Users of __GENERIC_PER_CPU definitely need cpu_possible_map to be initialised

err, they'll need it once Eric's
dont-waste-percpu-memory-on-not-possible-CPUs patch is merged..
so I think it makes sense to
say "thou shalt initialise cpu_possible_map in setup_arch()".
I guess Xen isn't doing that. Can it be made to?
Lame fix: cpu_possible_map = (1<<NR_CPUS)-1 in setup_arch().
I dont understand why this HOTPLUG stuff is problematic for Xen (or other
arch) : If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is configured, then the map should be preset to
CPU_MASK_ALL. Its even documented in line 332 of include/linux/cpumask.h
* #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
* cpu_possible_map - all NR_CPUS bits set
arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c is doing the only sane stuff about it :
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
cpumask_t cpu_possible_map = CPU_MASK_ALL;
#else
cpumask_t cpu_possible_map;
#endif
Some remarks :
1) These cpu_possible_map could have __read_mostly attribute.
2) cpu_possible(cpu) macro could be defined to 1 if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, or a
test against NR_CPUS
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
#define cpu_possible(cpu) cpu_isset((cpu), cpu_possible_map)
#else
#define cpu_possible(cpu) ((unsigned)(cpu) < NR_CPUS)
#endif
