This adds the capability to DLPAR add and remove CPUs from the kernel. The
creates two new files /sys/devices/system/cpu/probe and
/sys/devices/system/cpu/release to handle the DLPAR addition and
removal of
CPUs respectively.

CPU DLPAR add is accomplished by writing the drc-index of the CPU to the
probe file, and removal is done by writing the device-tree path of the cpu
to the release file.

Unchecked memory allocation with immediate crash in case of failure.

Yep, thats a bad thing.  I'll fix this in an updated patch.  thanks.
