I have a report from within Oracle that this causes testing failures
with QEMU using -smp cpus=2,maxcpus=4. I think it needs to be:

	if (!device->status.present)
		return device->status.functional;

	if (device->status.enabled)
		return true;

	return !acpi_device_is_processor(device);

So we can better understand the history here, let's list it as a
truth table. P=present, F=functional, E=enabled, Orig=how the code
is in mainline, James=James' original proposal, Rafael=the proposed
replacement but seems to be buggy, Rmk=the fixed version that passes
tests:

P F E	Orig	James	Rafael		Rmk
0 0 0	0	0	0		0
0 0 1	0	0	0		0
0 1 0	1	1	1		1
0 1 1	1	0	1		1
1 0 0	1	0	!processor	!processor
1 0 1	1	1	1		1
1 1 0	1	0	1		!processor
1 1 1	1	1	1		1

Any objections to this?
