Don't we allocate per-cpu memory for 'cpu_possible_map' on boot? There's
a whole bunch of per-cpu memory users that does things like:


for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
struct foo *foo = per_cpu_ptr(&per_cpu_var, cpu);

/* muck with foo */
}


Which requires a cpu->node map for all possible cpus at boot time.
