Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
The SMP Configuration in the Xen-Kernel Image only supports eight Cores.
The normal Server Kernel Image supports up to 64 Cores. I think there is no reason why the Xen-Kernel only supports such a few cores. A Xen Machine is predestinated to have many core,s so it can host many virtual machines with good performance.
I have here 16 Core Machines and intend to install Ubuntu with Xen Hypervisor. Now I have to recompile them only to change this tiny configuration option. :-/

Will reassign this to the kernel team to consider for SRU - stable release update. Thanks.
