i've propagated these impact-line fixes into tip/cpus4096-v2, thanks
Rusty!

And once we have something that works reasonably well we can do a
final respin of this branch with all fixlets back-propagated, for good
bisectability.

the current variant, which force-disabled MAXSMP (i.e. only uses the
non-dynamic cpumask_t branch), is looking good in my testing so far.
(it has passed more than 100 boot tests today, on a handful of x86
boxes)
