Subject: Bogus "APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 4 reached" messages

On current trunk I get during boot:

[    0.000000] APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 4 reached.  Processor 4/0x84 ignored.
[    0.000000] APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 4 reached.  Processor 5/0x85 ignored.

I don't think these messages make much sense on a 4-core machine.
