Frederic Weisbecker 0453b435df nohz: Force boot CPU outside full dynticks range ... The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls ) components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression. Given that it happens before we know the initial online set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot. To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early on kernel parameter parsing time. We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary low power CPUs. But it's still first pass KISS time for now.
