The problem was with ACPI just simply looking at the namespace doesnt

We need to fix this asap - the performance penalty for HOTPLUG_CPU=y,
NR_CPUS=lots will be appreciable.
What is this performance penalty exactly?
All those for_each_cpu() loops will hit NR_CPUS cachelines instead of
hweight(cpu_possible_map) cachelines.
You mean NR_CPUS bits, mostly all included in a single cacheline, and even in
a single long word :) for most cases (NR_CPUS <= 32 or 64)
