I have a similar patch
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/681709/
which bumps limit to 288 and does a little bit more
so it wouldn't affect current users.

After that's merged, I plan to get rid of this limit and
make that part of numa parsing code dynamic so that it
wouldn't impose such limit/any limits on target code.
