According to the kernel configuration help, increasing the maximum number of CPUs from 4 to 8 will make the kernel 32KB bigger with no performance decrease.
Opinions?
I'd always rather these things go through the ML or a feature request, rather than a forum post. That way someone can actually trace the process.
Sounds fine to me, although I don't think there is any point on i686 (who would run >4 cores there?). x86_64 makes sense though.
I've got some machines at work that have 4 dual core CPU's (cpuinfo shows 8 cpu's) running 32 bit Linux so it's not that wierd.
