high-corecount machines

Apparently we can't handle clients (or servers) with more than 256 cores...

"Hello PM's can someone add to the FAR that we only support up to 256 cores as the maximum addressable cores.
I've got a client server with 480 cores and 2 of 4 IB cards are in NUMA ranges over 256. (NUMAs that have core #'s > 256)
We can't mount those IB cards or pinning a core over 256 to an IB card in a NUMA range under 256.
The system can have more cores but we can't use them.
Letting weka auto select cores doesn't ensure selection within the limit.
@Vince
would be a nice addition to the wekachecker to ID cards outside of this limit and flag them including a warning and suggestion to pin cores within our limit."
