parentx86: improve UP kernel when CPU-hotplug and SMP is enabled (diff)

x86: remove additional_cpus configurability
additional_cpus=<x> parameter is dangerous and broken: for example if we boot additional_cpus=-2 on a stock dual-core system it will crash the box on bootup. So reduce the maze of code a bit by removingthe user-configurability angle. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
