H. Peter Anvin 0b962d473a x86, msr/cpuid: Register enough minors for the MSR and CPUID drivers 
register_chrdev() hardcodes registering 256 minors, presumably to
avoid breaking old drivers.  However, we need to register enough
minors so that we have all possible CPUs.

checkpatch warns on this patch, but the patch is correct: NR_CPUS here
is a static *upper bound* on the *maximum CPU index* (not *number of
CPUs!*) and that is what we want.
