Managing possible CPUs is an unreadable and uncomprehensible maze. Aside of
that it's backwards because it applies command line limits after
registering all APICs.
Rewrite it so that it:
- Applies the command line limits upfront so that only the allowed amount
of APIC IDs can be registered.
- Applies eventual late restrictions in an understandable way
- Uses simple min_t() calculations which are trivial to follow.
- Provides a separate function for resetting to UP mode late in the
bringup process.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
