Hi all...
Here's the patch, with CONFIG_NR_CPUS defaulted to 32 on all architectures.

+CONFIG_NR_CPUS
+ This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
+ kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 32 and the
+ mimimum value which makes sense is 2.
+
+ This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
+ approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.
