KVM: x86: Increase the "hard" max VCPU limit
KVM guests today use 8bit APIC ids allowing for 256 ID's. Reserving one ID for Broadcast interrupts should leave 255 ID's. In case of KVM there is no need for reserving another ID for IO-APIC so the hard max limit for VCPUS can be increased from 254 to 255. (This was confirmed by Gleb Natapov http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/99713 ) Signed-off-by: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>
