Hi Andre,

I don't understand why it's so difficult to eliminate the 64 CPU limit.  
I'm willing to take these patches with the limit but I'd like to see the 
following:

The -numa stuff needs to be more defensive when -smp > 64.  
Specificially, it needs to explicitly check and warn the user if a NUMA 
node contains a CPU > 64.

Each patch needs some description of what it's doing.  All patches need 
a SoB.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
