From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
We recently had some discussions that were sidetracked for a while, because
nearly everyone misapprehended the purpose of the 'max_threads' field in
the compatiblity modes table. It's all about guest expectations, not host
expectations or support (that's handled elsewhere).
In an attempt to avoid a repeat of that confusion, rename the field to
'max_vthreads' and add an explanatory comment.
