David S. Miller 22adb358e8 [SPARC64]: Eliminate NR_CPUS limitations.
Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.

Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:

1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
   D-cache aliasing platforms.  With some build time
   calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
   page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.

2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
   a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set.  Some simple looping
   logic clears that up too.

3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.

There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64
specific problem.
