x86: use possible_cpus=NUM to extend the possible cpus allowed

Impact: add new boot parameter

Use possible_cpus=NUM kernel parameter to extend the number of possible
cpus.

The ability to HOTPLUG ON cpus that are "possible" but not "present" is
dealt with in a later patch.

cpu_possible_map = cpu_present_map + additional_cpus
(*) Option valid only for following architectures
- x86_64, ia64
- ia64
ia64 and x86_64 use the number of disabled local apics in ACPI tables MADT
to determine the number of potentially hot-pluggable cpus. The implementation
should only rely on this to count the # of cpus, but *MUST* not rely on the
apicid values in those tables for disabled apics. In the event BIOS doesn't
mark such hot-pluggable cpus as disabled entries, one could use this
parameter "additional_cpus=x" to represent those cpus in the cpu_possible_map.

possible_cpus=n [s390 only] use this to set hotpluggable cpus.
possible_cpus=n [s390,x86_64] use this to set hotpluggable cpus.
This option sets possible_cpus bits in
cpu_possible_map. Thus keeping the numbers of bits set
constant even if the machine gets rebooted.
