[PATCH] x86 topology: don;t create a control file for BSP that cannot be removed
Don't create "online" control file for BSP (i386/x86_64) since its not removable. We originally added this to support ppc64 if the kernel has support but BIOS indicated no offline support, we just didnt create online files for them. We used the same method in ia64 as well, if we have a cpu taking platform interrupts but cannot be removed if those interrupts cannot be re-targeted to another cpu.
