    percpu: introduce start_offset to pcpu_chunk · e2266705

    The reserved chunk arithmetic uses a global variable
    pcpu_reserved_chunk_limit that is set in the first chunk init code to
    hide a portion of the area map. The bitmap allocator to come will
    eventually move the base_addr up and require both the reserved chunk
    and static chunk to maintain this offset. pcpu_reserved_chunk_limit is
    removed and start_offset is added.
    
    The first chunk that is circulated and is pcpu_first_chunk serves the
    dynamic region, the region following the reserved region. The reserved
    chunk address check will temporarily use the first chunk to identify its
    address range. A following patch will increase the base_addr and remove
    this. If there is no reserved chunk, this will check the static region
    and return false because those values should never be passed into the
    allocator.
    
    Lastly, when linking in the first chunk, make sure to count the right
    free region for the number of empty populated pages.
