Unfortunately, I was not able to come up with anything suitable.

I think your proposal to always define NR_CPUS=1 for architectures
without SMP support is a good solution.

After all, if !SMP because the architecture does not support it, I
believe it makes sense that NR_CPUS be defined to 1.

Unless NR_CPUS carries with it a hidden meaning about SMP being
possible, that is, which would probably be wrong anyway, since we have
SMP for this.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
