Ingo Molnar aec6487e99 x86/Kconfig: Further simplify the NR_CPUS config
Clean up various aspects of the x86 CONFIG_NR_CPUS configuration switches:

- Rename the three CONFIG_NR_CPUS related variables to create a common
  namespace for them:

    RANGE_BEGIN_CPUS => NR_CPUS_RANGE_BEGIN
    RANGE_END_CPUS   => NR_CPUS_RANGE_END
    DEF_CONFIG_CPUS  => NR_CPUS_DEFAULT

- Align them vertically, such as:

    config NR_CPUS_RANGE_END
            int
            depends on X86_64
            default 8192 if  SMP && ( MAXSMP ||  CPUMASK_OFFSTACK)
            default  512 if  SMP && (!MAXSMP && !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK)
            default    1 if !SMP

- Update help text, add more comments.

Test results:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
