I'd like to see the supported number of CPUs jump from 64 to 512 so that it would be possible to run Fedora Core 5 on large CPU systems.
Covered by BZ #162570.

you don't say which architecture this is for... I assume x86-64 since nobody in their right mind would put 512 cpus in an 32 bit x86 box ;)

Oops. My bad, Arjan. ia64 :)
...and you want the max to become the total number of ia64 processors Intel has manufactured? :-)

Funny, very funny ... actually I'm hoping to run a kernel on one of these:
