Subjectx86: more than 8 32-bit CPUs requires X86_BIGSMP
$ cat x86-more-than-8-cpus-requires-bigsmp.patch

Enforce NR_CPUS <= 8 limitation if X86_BIGSMP not set

Configuring more than 8 logical CPUs on 32-bit x86 requires
X86_BIGSMP to be set in order to boot successfully, if more than 8
logical CPUs are actually found at boot time. The X86_BIGSMP help
text describes that it is required to be set if more than 8 CPUs
are configured, but this was previously not enforced.

This configuration error has affected multiple distributions:
