Andi,
Kernel 2.5.61's include/asm-x86_64/smp.h contains:
extern unsigned long cpu_online_map;
...
extern inline unsigned int num_online_cpus(void)
{
return hweight32(cpu_online_map);
}
and similarly for cpu_callout_map.
hweight32() truncates a 64-bit operand to 32-bits, so either
- the maps should be int rather than long, or
- x86_64 needs to define and use a new hweight64(), or
- CONFIG_NR_CPUS must not exceed 32 on x86_64.
Comments?

You're right - it should use hweight64. Thanks for the headup.
I'll fix it.
Currently the x86-64 port is limited to 8 CPUs because the APIC
drivers don't support cluster mode (yet) and can only talk to 8
local apics, so it isn't that harmful.

Can someone finally add a hweight64() to the generic code?
I've been avoiding usage of hweight64() anywhere for this
very reason.
