//! Kernel tunables — the compile-time knobs, gathered in one place.
//!
//! These constants would otherwise be scattered across the files that use them,
//! hiding the trade-offs. Keeping them here makes them visible at a glance and gives
//! one spot to change them. They're plain `comptime` constants (zero runtime cost);
//! any one can later be promoted to a `-D` build option if a target needs to vary it
//! (see build.zig's `-Dtest-case` for the pattern). This keeps ps2-library.zig to what it
//! actually is — the bootloader↔kernel handoff *contract* — with tunables living here.
/// Ceiling on logical CPUs the kernel tracks — the size of the per-CPU bookkeeping
/// arrays (discovery pool, scheduler state, per-core GDT/TSS). Generous headroom:
/// those structs are small, and the *large* per-core resources (kernel and IST
/// stacks) are allocated at bring-up for cores that actually come online, so this
/// ceiling is cheap. A machine with more logical CPUs has its surplus reported and
/// left parked (see acpi `cpusDropped`).
