Thanks Nathan,

Regarding the reuse of other nodes free CPU ids, with this patch the kernel does
it best to prevent that. Instead of failing adding new CPUs, I think it's better
to reuse free CPU ids of other nodes, otherwise, only a reboot would allow the
CPU adding operation to succeed.

Laurent.
