At 10 kernel threads per cpu there may be a little bloat but it isn't

NR_CPUS approaches infinity. 4096 isn't infinity yet but it's easily
a 1000 fold bigger then most people are used to :)
I disagree there is only a little bloat: the current mechanism in place
does not scale as NR_CPUS increases, as this thread demonstrates.
Beyond a certain point, on an 8-CPU box, it gets silly. You certainly
don't need eight kblockd threads or eight ata threads.
