[PATCH] x86_64: CPU hotplug support


  Experimental CPU hotplug patch for x86_64
  -----------------------------------------
This supports logical CPU online and offline.
- Test with maxcpus=1, and then kick other cpu's off to test if init code
  is all cleaned up. CONFIG_SCHED_SMT works as well.
- idle threads are forked on demand from keventd threads for clean startup

TBD:
1. Not tested on a real NUMA machine (tested with numa=fake=2)
2. Handle ACPI pieces for physical hotplug support.
