parisc: Use num_present_cpus() in alternative patching code
When patching the kernel code some alternatives depend on SMP vs. !SMP. Use the value of num_present_cpus() instead of num_online_cpus() to decide, otherwise we may run into issues if and additional CPU is enabled after having loaded a module while only one CPU was enabled.

parisc: Reduce kernel size by packing alternative tables
The values stored in the length and condition fields of the alternative tables fit into 16 bits, so we can save 4 bytes per alternative table entry. Since a typical 32-bit kernel has more than 3000 entries this saves > 12k of storage on disc.

parisc: Fix crash due alternative coding for NP iopdir_fdc bit
According to the found documentation, data cache flushes and sync instructions are needed on the PCX-U+ (PA8200, e.g. C200/C240) platforms, while PCX-W (PA8500, e.g. C360) platforms aparently don't need those flushes when changing the IO PDIR data structures.
We have no documentation for PCX-W+ (PA8600) and PCX-W2 (PA8700) CPUs, but Carlo Pisani reported that his C3600 machine (PA8600, PCX-W+) fails when the fdc instructions were removed. His firmware didn't set the NIOP bit, so one may assume it's a firmware bug since other C3750 machines had the bit set.
Even if documentation (as mentioned above) states that PCX-W (PA8500, e.g. J5000) does not need fdc flushes, Sven could show that an Adaptec 29320A PCI-X SCSI controller reliably failed on a dd command during the first five minutes in his J5000 when fdc flushes were missing.
Going forward, we will now NOT replace the fdc and sync assembler instructions by NOPS if: a) the NP iopdir_fdc bit was set by firmware, or b) we find a CPU up to and including a PCX-W+ (PA8600).
This fixes the HPMC crashes on a C240 and C36XX machines. For other machines we rely on the firmware to set the bit when needed.
In case one finds HPMC issues, people could try to boot their machines with the "no-alternatives" kernel option to turn off any alternative patching.
