From: Noam Camus <noamca@xxxxxxxxxxxx> At smp_prepare_cpus() we set present cpu mask as part of init for all CPUs at range [0-max_cpus]. This is done without checking if this mask is already being set. At platform of eznps this mask is already being initialized at smp_init_cpus() by using hook plat_smp_ops.init_early_smp(). So to avoid overriding of present cpu mask we check the number of bits which are set in this mask. At the begin only bit for boot CPU is set so if number of bits already set is no more than one we can be assure that there is no overriding of this mask.
