With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB on per CPU data of all possible CPUs. The reason was that HOTPLUG always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now) The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would lead to this memory wastage. This implements some new heuristics: - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit, but seems like a obvious extension) - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.
