Yes, this seems like a good plan.

The comma here in the error message is unnecessary.

...and there should be parens around the %d here for consistency.
Since this is a user-facing error message, "CPUs" is nicer than
"cpus".

A brief comment that we do a more restrictive check later at init
time would be a good idea I think.
