I haven't seen any real SMP machine yet with > 4 CPUs (we don't suport
SuperDomes yet), so reducing the default maximum number of CPUs may speed up
various bitop functions which depend on number of CPUs in the system.
bload-o-meter on a typical 64-bit kernel shows:
Data: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/10 up/down: 0/-3724 (-3724)
Total: Before=
1910404, After=

Code: add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 42/38 up/down: 2320/-3500 (-1180)

int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-32)"
range 2 32
depends on SMP
- default "32"
+ default "4"
