If the boot_cpuid is smaller than nr_cpus, it requires extra effort to
ensure the boot_cpu is in cpu_present_mask. This can be achieved by
reserving the last quota for the boot cpu.
Note: the restriction on nr_cpus will be lifted with more effort in the
successive patches

nthreads is anyway assumed to be same for all cores. So, enforcing
nr_cpu_ids to a minimum of nthreads (and multiple of nthreads) should
make the code much simpler without the need for above check and the
other complexities addressed in the subsequent patches...
Indeed, this series can be splited into two partsk, [1-2/5] and [3-5/5].
In [1-2/5], if smaller, the nr_cpu_ids is enforced to be equal to
nthreads. I will make it align upward on nthreads in the next version.
So [1-2/5] can be totally independent from the rest patches in this
series.
Yup. Would prefer it that way.
From an engineer's perspective, [3-5/5] are added to maintain the
nr_cpus semantics. (Finally, nr_cpus=1 can be achieved but requiring
effort on other subsystem)
I understand it would be nice to maintain semantics but not worth the
complexity it brings, IMHO. So, my suggest would be to drop [3-5/5].
Thanks
