[IA64] support for cpu0 removal
here is the BSP removal support for IA64. Its pretty much the same thing that
was released a while back, but has your feedback incorporated.
- Removed CONFIG_BSP_REMOVE_WORKAROUND and associated cmdline param
- Fixed compile issue with sn2/zx1 due to a undefined fix_b0_for_bsp
- some formatting nits (whitespace etc)
This has been tested on tiger and long back by alex on hp systems as well.

+ ---help---
+ Say Y if you need to force the assumption that CPEI can be re-targetted to
+ any cpu in the system. This hint is available via ACPI 3.0 specifications.
+ Tiger4 systems are capable of re-directing CPEI to any CPU other than BSP.
+ This option it useful to enable this feature on older BIOS's as well.
+ You can also enable this by using boot command line option force_cpei=1.
