Maybe we can simply make it stop being global and be used only by the
smp.c initialization code?

Even if the variable didn't exist yet, I think I would add it myself:
it's simpler and more efficient to calculate the bitmap weight once,
while filling the bitmap, than recalculating it every time on the
while(cmos_smp_count) loop.
