Also, I think we should either fix MAXCPU to export the SMP value to userland, or hide it from userland completely. Exporting the UP value is Just Wrong (tm).
Well, it's useful in the sense that it tells you what the maximum number of CPUs a kernel can support is, which is helpful, especially if you're futzing with MAXCPU as a kernel option :-).
But, more generally, many things that use MAXCPU should probably use either mp_maxid or DPCPU. Not everything, but most things.
