docs: Document possible_cpus parameter
The number of possible CPUs is set be kernel in early boot time through
some discovery mechanisms, like ACPI in x86. We have a parameter both
in x86 and S390 to override that - there are some cases of BIOSes exposing
more possible CPUs than the available ones, so this parameter is a good
testing mechanism, but for some reason wasn't mentioned so far in the
kernel parameters guide - let's fix that.
