Even cpu_possible does not seem to be setup this early.  Seems like 
reinitialisation of prof_counter/prof_multiplier et al is redundant.
Here's a newer patch which removes this initialisation at smp_boot_cpus.
Works fine for me (tested same on a 4 way with difft profiling multipliers..
LOC interrupts seem to fire at the right intervals).

Only x86 and x86_64 arches had this reinits. Here's the corrected
x86 patch. x86_64 patch to follow

Thanks,
Kiran
