Re: [Crash-utility] [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/5] xen: Always calculate max_cpus value

max_cpus is not available since 20374 changeset (Miscellaneous data
placement adjustments). It was moved to __initdata section. This section
is freed after Xen initialization. Assume that max_cpus is always
equal to XEN_HYPER_SIZE(cpumask_t) * 8.
Using nr_cpu_ids, when available, would seem a better fit. And
I donm't see why, on dumps from old hypervisors, you wouldn't
want to continue using max_cpus. Oh, wait, I see - you would
have to be able to tell whether it actually sits in .init.data, which
might not be strait forward.
