[patch] 2.2.13 SMP: printk() when viewing /proc/cpuinfo

Hi,

I compiled a 2.2.13 kernel with SMP enabled and observed the following
printk() message while viewing /proc/cpuinfo:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 

get_cpuinfo(): ran out of cpu nodes.

get_cpuinfo(): ran out of cpu nodes.

The printk()'s (get_cpuinfo(): ran out of cpu nodes.) only appear in
SMP mode. They do not appear when the system is in UP mode.

The following patch appears to fix the problem on my system when in
SMP mode (no change in UP mode):
