There's already the (recent) page size-based scaling, so the idea with
nr_cpus scaling could make the selftest useful on wider range of setups
(even page size can be considered as a slight implementation detail
leak, thus the justification of nr_cpus dependency).

Also, I still think that internally the threshold should be changed to
the "harmonic" formula [1] but the selftest can go with the linear
dependency for more pronounced effects.

Thanks,
Michal
