It is a long time since my last v4 [1].
The code has undergone great changes. The paca[] array has been
reorganized and indexed by paca_ptrs[], which dramatically decreases the
memory consumption even if there are many unpresent cpus in the middle.
However, reordering the logical cpu numbers can further decrease the
size of paca_ptrs[] in the kdump case. So I keep [1/3], which
rotate-shifts the cpu's sequence number in the device tree to obtain the
logical cpu id.
Patch [2-3/3] make efforts to decrease the nr_cpus to be less than or
equal to two.

powerpc/setup: Loosen the mapping between cpu logical id and its seq
in dt
powerpc/setup: Handle the case when boot_cpuid greater than nr_cpus
powerpc/setup: alloc extra paca_ptrs to hold boot_cpuid
