Name: Create cpu_active_map
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Booted on 2.6.2-rc2-bk2

D: When CPUs are going down, there is a time when cpu_online(cpu) is
D: false, but they are still scheduling and responding to interrupts
D: (we are migrating things off the CPU, shutting down per-cpu
D: threads, etc).  It turns out that RCU cares about these CPUs, so
D: the decision was made to expose this mask (previously internal to x86,
D: and only used for IPIs).
D: 
D: The semantics of this mask are as follows:
D: 1) For platforms without hot unplug of CPUs: cpu_active_map ==
D:    cpu_online_map.
D: 2) For the others, they are equal except for a CPU which is going
D:    down: cpu_online_map gets cleared by __cpu_disable(), cpu_active_map
D:    gets cleared in __cpu_die() once the CPU is no longer responding
D:    to interrupts.
