Ugh let's stop this thread now. Two points:
(a) imo, the kernel should support out-of-the-box the maximum number of CPUs it can handle. Be lucky we now have a configure option to change that. But that does not matter..
(b) Right now it is 32. Now you can change it... if you want to change the current behavior by _default_ why don't we suggest that _after_ this is accepted into 2.5? I.e., one battle at a time.
Thanks,
