[Impact]
* Currently our riscv64 kernels don't support more than 8 CPUs.
* The QEMU 7.0 virt machine supports up to 512 virtual CPUs.
* Raising CONFIG_NR_CPUS to the maximum of 32 allows us to use
more of them.
[Test Plan]
* Run riscv64 Ubuntu in a QEMU virt instance with more than 8
virtual CPUs and see that only 8 of them are used.
* After raising CONFIG_NR_CPUS up to 32 of them should be used.
[Where problems could occur]
* This will allocate slightly more RAM which might hurt very small
machines.
