[PATCH] Correct smt_enabled=X boot option for > 2 threads per core

The 'smt_enabled=X' boot option does not handle values of X > 2.
For Power 7 processors with smt modes of 0,1,2,3, and 4 this does
not work. This patch allows the smt_enabled option to be set to
any value limited to a max equal to the number of threads per
core.
