x86/cpu: Increase max CPU count to 8192

jwboyer · Ingo Molnar · commit b53b5eda8194 · 2013-11-06T08:16:34.000+01:00
The MAXSMP option is intended to enable silly large numbers of CPUs for testing purposes. The current value of 4096 isn't very silly any longer as there are actual SGI machines that approach 6096 CPUs when taking HT into account. Increase the value to a nice round 8192 to account for this and allow for short term future increases.
