Yes, you can have too many CPU cores - Ampere's 192-core chips break ARM64 Linux kernel in two-socket systems, company requests higher core count support (www.tomshardware.com)

Umm, build it yourselves…? Anyone can fork an build a custom kernel.

Edit: looks like they kinda sorta did.

    If you fork it, you're stuck maintaining your own kernel. It quickly becomes a nightmare as you accumulate more custom changes while bringing in fixes/features from mainline kernel.

    They've already submitted a patch to change the mainline/upstream kernel. If the community/maintainers accept the patch then they won't need to fork it and can rely on distros backporting the support to older/downstream kernels if needed.

    Isnt proposing it something different than just creating a pull request?
    I'd say waiting for green light from the maintainers and then work on it might be more beneficial.
