Why is it all these kernel constants are not changeable from within the make proccess?
Some of them are limited in "hard" ways, for example the number of user id's can't go above what can fit into a uid_t on a given architecture. Another good example is NR_TASKS which is limited to some fixed constant currently on ix86 due to how the cpu descriptor tables are setup in the kernel. This later example we do have plans to do away with, but in 2.3.x not 2.2.x
