On a system with a substantial number of processors, the early default pid_max of 32k will not be enough. A system with 1664 CPU's, there are 25163 processes started before the login prompt. It's estimated that with 2048 CPU's we will pass the 32k limit. With 4096, we'll reach that limit very early during the boot cycle, and processes would stall waiting for an available pid. This patch increases the early maximum number of pids available, and increases the minimum number of pids that can be set during runtime.
