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.

v5 -> v6:
  assign nr_cpu_ids by set_nr_cpu_ids() to tackle with the issue if nr_cpu_ids is
configured as a constant

Pingfan Liu (3):
  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
