That was from Alan ... I'll Cc: him.  Here's an early copy (not sure if
this was the final one though.)

Subject:  [PATCH] x86_64: resize NR_IRQS for large machines

On machines with very large numbers of cpus, tables that are dimensioned
by NR_IRQS get very large, especially the irq_desc table.  They are also
very sparsely used.  When the cpu count is > MAX_IO_APICS, use MAX_IO_APICS
to set NR_IRQS, otherwise use NR_CPUS.
