commit ac9816dcbab53c57bcf1d7b15370b08f1e284318 upstream.
Init all present cpus for deep states instead of "all possible" cpus.
Init fails if a possible cpu is guarded. Resulting in making only
non-deep states available for cpuidle/hotplug.
Stewart says, this means that for single threaded workloads, if you
guard out a CPU core you'll not get WoF (Workload Optimised
Frequency), which means that performance goes down when you wouldn't
expect it to.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
