The x86-64 BSP isn't quite the same as the "more specific" BSP like a
Beaglebone Black or the (now deleted) Edgerouter. Where we have exact
hardware specifics for boards like those, the x86-64 BSP is more of a
"generic" thing used as the baseline across an endless sea of boards.
To that end, this is somewhat a revert of commit bd77e1f904f6
("bsp/intel-x86: change the supported maximum number of CPUs to 512 in 64-bit
bsp")
It is great that a handful of people out there are using Yocto on these
huge server machines, but that doesn't reflect 99% of the rest of us who
continue to lean towards the original "embedded theme" of Yocto.
That means a whole bunch of extra per-CPU jumping through hoops; some
can be mitigated by booting with "nr_cpus=4" (or whatever the core count
is) but I guarantee largely nobody out there is doing that.
Let those users with the crazy CPU count own that config customization
locally. The default is 64 which still seems way too large IMHO, but
at least we are moving in the right direction.
