Have a facility to account for potentially hot-pluggable CPUs. ACPI doesnt
give a determinstic method to find hot-pluggable CPUs. Hence we use 2 methods
to assist.
- BIOS can mark potentially hot-pluggable CPUs as disabled in the MADT tables.
- User can specify the number of hot-pluggable CPUs via parameter
additional_cpus=X
The option is enabled only if ACPI_CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y which enables the
physical hotplug option. Without which user can still use logical onlining
and offlining of CPUs by enabling CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y
Adds more bits to cpu_possible_map for potentially hot-pluggable cpus.

Patch to support P-state transitions on ia64. This driver is based on ACPI,
and uses the ACPI processor driver interface to find out the P-state support
information for the processor. This driver plugs into generic cpufreq
infrastructure.
Once this driver is loaded successfully, ondemand/userspace governor can be
used to change the CPU frequency dynamically based on load or on request from
userspace process.

ACPI 3.0 added a Correctable Platform Error Interrupt (CPEI)
Processor Overide flag to MADT.Platform_Interrupt_Source.
Record the processor that was provided as hint from ACPI.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
