Subject[PATCH] x86: try to simplify NR_CPUS config
Date
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

Clean up and simplify the X86 NR_CPUS Kconfig symbol/option by
introducing MIN_CONFIG_CPUS, MAX_CONFIG_CPUS, and DEF_CONFIG_CPUS.
Then combine some default values when their conditionals can be
reduced.

Also move the X86_BIGSMP kconfig option inside an "if X86_32"/"endif"
config block and drop its explicit "depends on X86_32".

This is a rather literal interpretation of Linus's suggestion.
It mostly moves the complexity to other kconfig symbols, although
a little bit more reduction can be done, especially in
RANGE_BEGIN_CPUS, at the sake of understandability, so I chose
to leave it more understandable (at least to me).
