NR_CPUS in debian linux-images

[maximilian attems <max@stro.at>]

hello

after getting an irc query and bug report on our currently set number of
cpu for the upcoming lenny release:
/boot/config-2.6.26-1-amd64:CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32

-> http://bugs.debian.org/491309

we came to this issue:
10:13 <waldi> 1345623 3148364  417112 4911099  4aeffb x86_64-255/vmlinux
10:13 <waldi> 1339887  380556  273880 1994323  1e6e53 x86_64-32/vmlinux
10:13 <waldi> only change is the number of cpus *gna*

10:16 <waldi> struct irq_cfg irq_cfg[NR_IRQS] __read_mostly = {
10:18 <waldi> yeah, 2.5MiB just for the interrups
10:19 <waldi> #define NR_IRQS (256 + (32 * NR_CPUS))
10:29 <waldi> and because some parts have static initializers, it can't be moved
 into the bss section

the debian installer cares about the image size.

thanks for your input, as i see that you do the 4k cpu work on 2.6.27.
