[PATCH] x86/ACPI: ignore processors which cannot be brought online

[PATCH] x86/ACPI: ignore processors which cannot be brought online

[Jan Beulich]

ACPI 6.3 introduced a flag allowing to tell MADT entries describing
hotpluggable processors from ones which are simply placeholders (often
used by firmware writers to simplify handling there).

Inspired by a Linux patch by Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>.
