Do you think it is ok for me to at > least set it to 512, if not 4096 at this time? It's up to you in the end, I'm not familiar with the riscv architecture. NR_CPUS is only used at the moment when creating a cpumask, where it represents the maximum number of bits in the bitmask (bits, not bytes). So NR_CPUS=512 means that the cpumask will contain 8 unsigned longs, while with 4096 it will contain 64 unsigned longs. Cpumasks are only used by the arm64 code so far, so the value that you choose won't affect existing code.
