Subject[PATCH] x86: bump default NR_CPUS for 64-bit configuration
Date
Default NR_CPUS==8 is not enough to cover high-end desktop
configuration: Haswell-E has upto 16 threads.

Let's increase default NR_CPUS to 64 on 64-bit configuration. With this
value CPU bitmask will still fit into one unsinged long.

Default for 32-bit configuration is still 8: it's unlikely anybody will
run 32-bit kernel on modern hardware.

As alternative we could bump NR_CPUS to 128 to cover all dual-processor
servers with some margin.

For reference: Debian and Suse build their kernels with NR_CPUS==512,
Fedora -- 1024.

This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
