That should be enough for a two socket (2S x 4C x 2T) today,
but of course that will eventually change too.

That looks weird. It should have worked with CONFIG_NR_CPUS==16 too,
because you only have 16 CPUs and the NR_CPUS should affect APIC
ranges etc.

Something still fishy. I would properly report it.

BTW kernel should give some error message in any case when
there are not enough CPUs I guess.
