    [PATCH]: highest_possible_processor_id() has to be a macro · 688ce17b

    	... otherwise, things like alpha and sparc64 break and break
    badly.  They define cpu_possible_map to something else in smp.h
    *AFTER* having included cpumask.h.
    
    	If that puppy is a macro, expansion will happen at the actual
    caller, when we'd already seen #define cpu_possible_map ... and we will
    get the right thing used.
    
    	As an inline helper it will be tokenized before we get to that
    define and that's it; no matter what we define later, it won't affect
    anything.  We get modules with dependency on cpu_possible_map instead
    of the right symbol (phys_cpu_present_map in case of sparc64), or outright
    link errors if they are built-in.
