[PATCH] [ppc64] dynamically allocate emergency stacks

[Anton Blanchard]

Hi,

Now we set up cpu_possible_map early we can dynamically allocate the
emergency stacks. Previously we would allocate NR_CPUS * PAGE_SIZE, 
potentially wasting quite a lot of memory.

Clean a comment up in irqstack_early_init and use unsigned int for cpu
ids while in the area.
