The result is that there's no way to override a BIOS now that
doesn't declare the number of hotplug CPUs with the Linux hotplug
extension.

Completely trusting the BIOS seems like a bad idea.

So I think you still need the command line parameter back, otherwise there's no
way to override the BIOS.

before removing code you clearly don't understand)
