18255f054e31SRusty Russell	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
18265f054e31SRusty Russell	  cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
182798a79d6aSRusty Russell	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
182898a79d6aSRusty Russell	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1829692105b8SMatt LaPlante	  and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
