Add a facility of using offlined CPUs as slave CPUs. Slave CPUs are
specialized to exclusively run functions specified by online CPUs,
which do not run user processes.
To use this feature, build the kernel with CONFIG_SLAVE_CPU=y.
A slave CPU is launched by calling cpu_slave_up() when the CPU is offlined.
Once launched, the slave CPU waits for IPI in the idle thread context.
Users of the slave CPU can run specific kernel function by sending IPI using
slave_cpu_call_function().
When cpu_slave_down() is called, the slave cpu will go offline state again.
Cpumask `cpu_slave_mask' is provided to manage whether CPU is slave.
In addition, `cpu_online_or_slave_mask' is also provided for convenence of
APIC handling, etc.
