[RFC PATCH 1/4] use nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids early
From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Mon Jan 11 2010 - 21:49:29 EST
on x86, before prefill_possible_map(), nr_cpu_ids will be NR_CPUS aka CONFIG_NR_CPUS
add nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids. so we can simulate cpus <=8 on normal config.
instead of change NR_CPUS directly.
