[PATCH] Online CPU with maxcpus option panics

[PATCH] Online CPU with maxcpus option panics

[Keshavamurthy Anil S]

Hi Andrew,
	I booted IA64 kernel with "maxcpus=" set to less than
the total available processors in the system. Then I tried
to online the CPU which was offline due to "maxcpus=" restirction.
i.e  when I tried to online the CPU which never was online at boot
crashed the system.

Attached patch fixes the problem.

Please apply.
