Subject[PATCH 0/2] NR_CPUS: increase maximum NR_CPUS to 4096

* Increases the limit of NR_CPUS to 4096 and introduces a
boolean called "MAXSMP" which when set (e.g. "allyesconfig")
will set NR_CPUS = 4096 and NODES_SHIFT = 9 (512).

I've been running this config (4k NR_CPUS, 512 Max Nodes)
on an AMD box with 2 dual-cores and 4gb memory as well as an
Intel box with 4 single-core cpus and 8Mb. I've also
successfully booted it in a simulated 2cpus/1Gb environment.

Based on:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
+ x86/latest .../x86/linux-2.6-x86.git
+ sched-devel/latest .../mingo/linux-2.6-sched-devel.git

Memory usage effects from upping NR_CPUS to 4096 and MAX_NUMANODES to 512.

255-akpm2: akpm2 config with NR_CPUS=255 / NUMA_NODE_SHIFT=6
4k-akpm2: akpm2 config with NR_CPUS=4096 / NUMA_NODE_SHIFT=9
