powerpc/smp: Remap boot CPU onto core 0 if >= nr_cpu_ids

Browse source

If nr_cpu_ids is too low to include the boot CPU, remap the boot CPU
onto logical core 0.

This is achieved in two stages. In early_init_dt_scan_cpus() the boot
CPU is renumbered to be on logical core 0, and the original boot core's
hardware ID is recorded.

Later in smp_setup_cpu_maps(), if the original boot core ID is set, the
logical CPU numbers on the 0th core are skipped in the normal device
tree search over CPU device tree nodes. Then the search is continued
until the device tree node matching the boot core is found, and those
CPUs are assigned the CPU numbers starting at 0.

This allows kdump kernels to be booted with low values for nr_cpu_ids
to conserve memory, while also allowing the crashing/boot CPU to be
any CPU.
