[PATCHv4 3/3] ppc64 boot: Wait for boot cpu to show up if nr_cpus limit is about to hit.

[Pingfan Liu]

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The kernel boot parameter 'nr_cpus=' allows one to specify number of
possible cpus in the system. In the normal scenario the first cpu (cpu0)
that shows up is the boot cpu and hence it gets covered under nr_cpus
limit.

But this assumption will be broken in kdump scenario where kdump kenrel
after a crash can boot up on an non-zero boot cpu. The paca structure
allocation depends on value of nr_cpus and is indexed using logical cpu
ids. This definetly will be an issue if boot cpu id > nr_cpus

This patch modifies allocate_pacas() and smp_setup_cpu_maps() to
accommodate boot cpu for the case where boot_cpuid > nr_cpu_ids.

This change would help to reduce the memory reservation requirement for
kdump on ppc64.
