v3: fix compile errors in arch-i386-allmodconfig build

v2: rebasing on 2.6.23-rc6-mm1

Analyzing various data structures when NR_CPU count is raised
to 4096 shows the following arrays over 128k.  If the maximum
number of cpus are not installed (about 99.99% of the time),
then a large percentage of this memory is wasted.

cpu_sibling_map and cpu_core_map have been taken care of in
a prior patch.  This patch deals with the cpu_data array of
cpuinfo_x86 structs.  The model that was used in sparc64
architecture was adopted for x86.
