When cpus != maxcpus cpuidle-haltpoll will fail to register all vcpus
past the online ones and thus fail to register the idle driver.
This is because cpuidle_add_sysfs() will return with -ENODEV as a
consequence from get_cpu_device() return no device for a non-existing
CPU.
Instead switch to cpuidle_register_driver() and manually register each
of the present cpus through cpuhp_setup_state() callbacks and future
ones that get onlined or offlined. This mimmics similar logic that
intel_idle does.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
