Hi, Len,
will you please consider this patch as the fix for bug 8570,
rather than the one at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8570#c21 ?

is_processor_present is only called in the processor hotplug case,
and _STA method is mandatory at this time.

We should ignore those processors that are disabled in the MADT
and don't have _STA methods.
Because they will never exist in this system.
For the processors that don't physically exist but can be
hot plugged later, we still need this debug info.
