Standard CONFIG_MAXSMP setting. I believe distros set that. At least
SLES on x86_64 does and I'd bet RHEL does that too.

config NR_CPUS
        int "Maximum number of CPUs" if SMP && !MAXSMP
        range 2 8 if SMP && X86_32 && !X86_BIGSMP
        range 2 512 if SMP && !MAXSMP && !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
        range 2 8192 if SMP && !MAXSMP && CPUMASK_OFFSTACK && X86_64
        default "1" if !SMP
        default "8192" if MAXSMP
		^^^^^^
