broken maxcpus in 2.4.24

[Dan Christian]

I compiled a vanilla 2.4.24 for a 2 processor Xeon.  

I set CONFIG_NR_CPUS to 4 (2 CPUs x 2 hyperthreads each).

When I boot the kernel, /proc/cpuinfo only shows 2 cpus (0-1) and
performance is bad.

I reconfigure CONFIG_NR_CPUS back to 32.  Now it shows 4 cpus (0-3) and
performance is normal.

Is this a bug or am misunderstanding how to set this configuration
variable?
