The logic in acpi_is_processor_usable() requires the Online Capable
bit be set for hotpluggable cpus. The Online Capable bit is
introduced in ACPI 6.3 and MADT.revision 5.
However, as currently coded, for MADT.revision < 5,
acpi_is_processor_usable() no longer allows for possible hot
pluggable cpus, which is a regressive change in behavior.
This patch restores the behavior where for MADT.revision < 5, the
presence of the lapic/x2apic structure implies a possible hotpluggable
cpu.
