On a system with 4 Kbyte pages, this imposes a tighter limit
if NR_CPUS is > 666.

On a system with 16 Kbyte pages, this imposes a tighter limit

Those CPU counts don't look that futuristic to me.

And it makes the limit more aribitrary ... like what the heck does
that check have to do with PAGE_SIZE ?

How about coding for the possibility that either NR_CPUS or MAX_NUMNODES
is larger, and removing 'cpu' from the comment:

	/* Crude upper limit on largest legitimate list user might write. */
	if (nbytes > 100 + 6 * max(NR_CPUS, MAX_NUMNODES))
