+The value "N" can be used to represent the numerically last CPU on the system,
+i.e "foo_cpus=16-N" would be equivalent to "16-31" on a 32 core system.
+
+Keep in mind that "N" is dynamic, so if system changes cause the bitmap width
+to change, such as less cores in the CPU list, then N and any ranges using N
+will also change. Use the same on a small 4 core system, and "16-N" becomes
+"16-3" and now the same boot input will be flagged as invalid (start > end).
