2008-01-26[S390] Get rid of additional_cpus kernel parameter.Heiko Carstens
It caused only a lot of confusion. From now on cpu hotplug of up to NR_CPUS will work by default. If somebody wants to limit that then the possible_cpus parameter can be used. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2008-01-26[S390] Standby cpu activation/deactivation.Heiko Carstens
Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and configured state. Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state. For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used. To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute. In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to the attribute. Only cpus in configured state can be brought online. In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan" must be used. Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of cpus and will create directories for new cpus. On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).
