Testing of patch below ...

Orig kernel output:

[    0.464981] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19
[    0.469861] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
[    0.477261] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
[    0.484760] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
[    0.492258] smpboot: APIC(c0) Converting physical 3 to logical package 3


1.  nr_cpus=8, should stop enumerating in package 0

[    0.533664] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
[    0.539596] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19


2.  max_cpus=8, should still enumerate all packages

[    0.526494] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
[    0.532428] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
[    0.538456] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
[    0.544486] smpboot: APIC(c0) Converting physical 3 to logical package 3
[    0.550524] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19

3.  nr_cpus=49 ( 2 socket + 1 core on 3rd socket), should stop enumerating in
package 2

[    0.521378] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
[    0.527314] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
[    0.533345] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
[    0.539368] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19

4.  maxcpus=49, should still enumerate all packages

[    0.525591] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
[    0.531525] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
[    0.537547] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
[    0.543579] smpboot: APIC(c0) Converting physical 3 to logical package 3
[    0.549624] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19

5.  kdump (nr_cpus=1) works.
