Compiler knows that ->cpu_bitmap is 64 bits of storage, and with
!CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, nr_cpumask_bits = NR_CPUS. With NR_CPUS > 64,
compiler gripes, with NR_CPUS <= 64 it's a happy camper.

Below is what I did to get box to both STHU, and to boot with the
openSUSE master branch config I sent. Without the efi_mm hunk, boot
hangs early with or without the other hunk.
I build and boot tested the openSUSE config, a NOPREEMPT+MAXSMP config,
my local config w. NR_CPUS=8, and master-rt w. NR_CPUS=256, which is
the only one that got any real exercise (building the others).
