ACPI MADT doesn't allow to offline a CPU after it was onlined. This limits kexec: the second kernel won't be able to use more than one CPU. To prevent a kexec kernel from onlining secondary CPUs, invalidate the mailbox address in the ACPI MADT wakeup structure which prevents a kexec kernel to use it. This is safe as the booting kernel has the mailbox address cached already and acpi_wakeup_cpu() uses the cached value to bring up the secondary CPUs. Note: This is a Linux specific convention and not covered by the ACPI specification. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

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 reStructuredText 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.
