This patch always forces the first core onlined due to some subsystem
needs cpu0. After core0, a hole may follow, then comes the crashed core.

This patch aims to mark all the arrays which size is decided by
nr_cpu_ids or num_possible_cpus(). Later if a hole is allowed in
cpu_possible_mask, the corresponding array should extend to hold the
last bit number in cpu_possible_mask.

Between early_setup()->allocate_paca_ptrs() and

This series addresses the nr_cpus issue for PowerPC without re-ordering

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

On pseries, for kexec -l/-p kernel, there is no reset of hardware, and this

On pseries, for kexec -l/-p kernel, there is no reset of hardware, and this
step can be stepped around to save times. So the pmem bound address can be
passed to the 2nd kernel through a dynamic added property "bound-addr" in
dt node 'ibm,pmemory'.

Splitting out new_property() for coming reusing and moving it to
of_helpers.c.
Also do some coding style cleanup.

Since new_property() is used in several calling sites, splitting it out for
reusing.
To ease the review, although the split out part has coding style issue,
keeping it untouched and fixed in next patch.

before __remove_memory(), and
accordingly the same rule in hot-add path.
This will introduce extra dt updating payload for each involved lmb when
hotplug.
But it should be fine since drmem_update_dt() is memory based operation and
hotplug is not a hot path.

This patch prepares for the incoming patch which swaps the order of KOBJ_
uevent and dt's updating.
It has no functional effect, just groups lmb operation and memblock's in
order to insert dt updating operation easily, and makes it easier to
review.

In lmb_is_removable(), if a section is not present, it should continue to
test the rest sections in the block. But the current code fails to do so.
