George,

lets not overdo things. The formula I came up with, based on the initial
code, is even slightly incorrect. It may allocate more than needed.
Each cpu has some pages/mfns stored as uint32_t. That list is stored
with an offset at tinfo. So its more like:
num_online_cpus() * pages * sizeof(uint32_t) + t_info_first_offset;
And that number of bytes is now correctly converted to pages with
PFN_UP. 

        t_info_words = num_online_cpus() * pages * sizeof(uint32_t);
        t_info_pages = PFN_UP(t_info_first_offset + t_info_words);

(Modulo things I missed.)

Olaf
