It is a long time 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.

This topic has a very long history. It comes from Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
For v3: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/834860/
I hope we can acquire it for "kexec -p" soon.

V4->V5:
  improve the [1/3] implementation based on Benjamin's suggestion.

Mahesh Salgaonkar (1):
  ppc64 boot: Wait for boot cpu to show up if nr_cpus limit is about to
    hit.

Pingfan Liu (2):
  powerpc, cpu: partially unbind the mapping between cpu logical id and 
       its seq in dt
  powerpc, cpu: handling the special case when boot_cpuid greater than
    nr_cpus
