Populate the cpu_enabled_map correctly.
Note that this patch does not actually make any decisions based
on the contents of the map.
However, as the map is presented via sysfs in:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/
It should be populated correctly.
There will be a user-visible change under the above directory.
cpuN/ entries for firmware-disabled CPUs will now appear, whereas
before, they did not due to a check against ACPI_MADT_ENABLED.
The cpuN/ entries will be empty, and the online file in the
above directory will reflect which CPUs are actually schedulable.

From an x86 standpoint this patchset seems reasonable to me.

Since it is a panarch patchset it presumably should go via -mm rather
than in the arch trees, so I'm not going to add it to -tip.
Obviously, if the sematics of the operations don't make sense for other
architectures -- which I will leave up to the affected maintainers --
then that should be carefully considered if the generic operations can
be done better.
