(blush) I should have figured that out for myself.
You know, a different, or at least more comprehensive patch will be needed for machines with more than 8 processors, depending on screen resolution, since 8 Tux will overflow a 640 pixel wide screen. Of course, most of those machines won't be using framebuffer consoles at VGA resolutions... still...
Yes, on SMP boxes the original design would be better. My patch is actually intended for embedded systems where you want a big, user-friendly logo on the screen instead of the console boot messages.
Thanks for the tip. I'll change the patch. Actually, now that I understand that bit, I realize that a much better way to do it is to add x_start up there, for (x=x_start; x < smp_num_cpus * ..., rather than separately for each different version of the drawing loops.
