Actually that was on purpose as I had noticed in your suggestion on
the other thread to fix the minimum number of CPUs required for this
patch to be > 64 rather than >= 64 (with the defaults of 18 for log
shift, and 12 for min cpu log shift). Minor difference, but it was
intentional. Even though we do require SMP now the -1 can take effect,
and it seems safer for now to only require this for > 64 CPU
configurations for the defaults set. I'm happy to remove that as well,
but bumping the CPU configuration mark for this to > 64 might be
better for starters unless we do know for sure we also need this for
64.
