This patch can probably be squashed together with the next one but I
broke it out with the hope that someone can check the wording on the
option and also double check the range.

4094

Recursive spinlocks have 12 bit bitfield for cpu, using -1 as a sentinel.

There might be other restrictions, but none currently come to mind.

"of physical CPUs"

This will help avoid confusion with virtual cpu limits.

range 1 4095 means CPUs 0...4094, i.e. afaict the range above is
correct.
