+	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_map and
+	  cpu_possible_map, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_map
+	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
+	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
+	  and have several arch maintainers persuing me down dark alleys.
