ACPI code will warn, it is in PATCH 07/19,

+	if (enabled_cpus >=  NR_CPUS) {
+		pr_warn("NR_CPUS limit of %d reached, Processor %d/0x%llx ignored.\n",
+			NR_CPUS, total_cpus, mpidr);
+		return -EINVAL;
+	}

OK, I will dive into the code and figure out if I can fix that as you
suggested, thanks for your comments :)
