x86: use possible_cpus=NUM to extend the possible cpus allowed

Impact: add new boot parameter

Use possible_cpus=NUM kernel parameter to extend the number of possible
cpus.

The ability to HOTPLUG ON cpus that are "possible" but not "present" is
dealt with in a later patch.

* Three ways to find out the number of additional hotplug CPUs:
