[PATCH] x86: Allow NR_CPUS=1024

[Josh Boyer]

The current range for SMP configs is 2 - 512, or a full 4096 in the case of
MAXSMP.  There are machines that have 1024 CPUs in them today and configuring
a kernel for that means you are forced to set MAXSMP.  This adds additional
unnecessary overhead.  While that overhead might be considered tiny for large
machines, it isn't necessarily so if you are building a kernel that runs
across a wide variety of machines.  We increase the range to 1024 to help
with this.
