hm.  I saw that warning on my 2-way.  It has CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8 so perhaps
the kernel has decided that this machine can possibly have eight CPUs.

It's an old super-micro board, doesn't have ACPI.

One would think that the kernel would work out that eight CPUs ain't
possible on such a machine.  But we don't seem to print out any info which
allows me to confirm that this is really what the kernel did.
