Unless your system has exactly one CPU without hyperthreading and with
exactly one core this is the correct bahavior, one tux per logical CPU.

If you just want a single tux you can run your kernel on a system with
only one logical CPU, boot it with maxcpus=1 or rebuild it with
CONFIG_SMP=n... though in those case you will not be able to benefit
from all of your CPU's resources..
