[PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUs


This sched.c bit breaks Xen, and probably also other architectures
that have CPU hotplug. I suspect the reason is that during early bootup only the boot CPU is online, so nothing initialises the
runqueues for CPUs that are brought up afterwards.

I suspect we can get rid of this problem quite easily by moving
runqueue initialisation to init_idle()...


Please fix Xen to match include/linux/cpumask.h documentation that says :

/*
 * The following particular system cpumasks and operations manage
 * possible, present and online cpus.  Each of them is a fixed size
 * bitmap of size NR_CPUS.
 *
 *  #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
 *     cpu_possible_map - all NR_CPUS bits set

Note that this shouldn't have to be all NR_CPUs if the platform
can determine all possible hotpluggable CPUs.
