[PATCH 1/5] x86: Modify Kconfig to allow up to 4096 cpus

[Mike Travis]

  * Increase the limit of NR_CPUS to 4096 and introduce a boolean
    called "MAXSMP" which when set (e.g. "allyesconfig"), will set
    NR_CPUS = 4096 and NODES_SHIFT = 9 (512).
    
  * Changed max setting for NODES_SHIFT from 15 to 9 to accurately
    reflect the real limit.

For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

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