Currently firmware uses 1 byte at 0x5F offset in RTC CMOS
to get number of CPUs present at boot. However 1 byte is
not enough to handle more than 255 CPUs.  So add a new
fw_cfg file that would allow QEMU to tell it.
For compat reasons add file only for machine types that
support more than 255 CPUs.

Do we really need this? Why differentiate between boot
cpus and others? How about reusing the hotplug
register, such that it looks just as if all CPUs
were just added by hotplug?

We could hijack cpu hotplug registers or even better extend it
with new command, like GET_PRESENT_CPUS_COUNT

but then we would need to tell firmware where register
is located which would lead to just adding other fw_cfg
file with register address.
So it's not better (maybe worse) than just adding
etc/boot-cpus fw_cfg file.
