Re: [PATCH] ia64: change defconfig to NR_CPUS==1024

When I tried to build a 2.6.15-mm2 kernel with NR_CPUS 1024, and turned
on some of the LOCK DEBUG options:

1160c1160
< # CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is not set
---
> CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
1163,1164c1163,1164
< # CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is not set
< # CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP is not set
---
> CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
> CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP=y

then the build failed:

LD .tmp_vmlinux1
arch/ia64/kernel/built-in.o(.init.text+0x68b2): In function `topology_init':
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S:1465: undefined reference to `__you_cannot_kmalloc_that_much'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Backing off to 512 CPUs built ok.

There are a couple of kmalloc() calls in topology_init(). I didn't try
to figure out which one blew up, nor did I try to investigate further.
