Would it be slightly less of a hack if we just move the ioremap down below
set_bit(0, &cpu_online_map); later on in smp_boot_cpus ? Untested patch
below. As long as we set up the xquad_portio remap before any other cpus
are online, I can't see it matters exactly when we do it ....

Either that, or we just define cpu_online_map to be =1 to start with.
