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 [2/4], which
rotate-shifts the cpu's sequence number in the device tree to obtain the
logical cpu id.

Patch [3-4/4] make efforts to decrease the nr_cpus to be less than or
equal to two.

v6 -> v7
  Add [1/4], which fixes compilation error on PPC32
