Whitespace issues aside, I have applied the patch on top of kernel 6.1.55 and tested on both a dual-socket Ampere Altra machine with < 256 CPUs, and a dual-socket AmpereOne machine with > 256 CPUs. Works as expected, with all CPUs visible and functional.

quoted

  config NR_CPUS
  	int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-4096)"
  	range 2 4096
- 	default "256"
+ 	default 512

Nit: the new default value should be in quotation marks, if we want to be pedantic

I can't find anything that requires the quotes - and as "range" doesn't
for consistency it seems that default shouldn't either. There's nothing
in the documentation that indicates quotes should be used, and looking
at the code, it's just treated as a string. The only thing that quotes
seem to do is to ensure that whitespace will be included.
