This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
kernel will support. If CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled, the maximum
supported value is 8192, otherwise the maximum value is 512. The
minimum value which makes sense is 2.

5-level paging enables access to larger address space:
It will be supported by future Intel CPUs.
- Note: a kernel with this option enabled can only be booted
