It's useless anyways because the x86 apics cannot handle more than
255. Best fix is probably just the appended one. Does that fix the
issue?
i386 already had it correct BTW.

Limit max number of CPUs to 255
Because 256 causes overflows in some code that stores them in 8 bit
fields and the x86 APIC architecture cannot handle more than 255
anyways.
