Since my last v4 [1], the code has undergone great changes. The paca[]
array has been reorganized and indexed by paca_ptrs[], which
dramatically decreases the memory consumption even if there are many
unpresent cpus in the middle.

However, reordering the logical cpu numbers can further decrease the
size of paca_ptrs[] in the kdump case. These two patches rotate-shifts
the cpu's sequence number in the device tree to obtain the logical cpu
id.

v8 -> v9
  put aside [3-5/5] in v8 for the time being, which complicates the code.
  optimize out some unnecessary initialization according to Hari's
suggestion
