We divide the CPUID space up another way.  Someone pointed out that the n and n
+ 512 approach only applies to serengeti and (I think) starcat.  Smaller
machines, on the other hand, do n and n + 16.  So if weinvented a machine with
more than 512 processors, it'd be n and n + 1024 or something like that.
