x86: allow number of additional hotplug CPUs to be set at compile time, V2
x86: allow number of additional hotplug CPUs to be set at compile time, V2
The default number of additional CPU IDs for hotplugging is determined
by asking ACPI or mptables how many "disabled" CPUs there are in the
system, but many systems get this wrong so that e.g. a uniprocessor
machine gets an extra CPU allocated and never switches to single CPU
mode.
And sometimes CPU hotplugging is enabled only for suspend/hibernate
anyway, so the additional CPU IDs are not wanted. Allow the number
to be set to zero at compile time.
Also, force the number of extra CPUs to zero if hotplugging is disabled
which allows removing some conditional code.
Tested on uniprocessor x86_64 that ACPI claims has a disabled processor,
with CPU hotplugging configured.
("After" has the number of additional CPUs set to 0)
Before: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 2, nr_node_ids 1
After: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 1, nr_node_ids 1
[Changed the name of the option and the prompt according to Ingo's
suggestion.]
