Subject: globally limit the maximum number of CPUs
a83cc2
a83cc2
We now globally limit the number of VCPUs.
a83cc2
Especially, there is no way one can specify more than
a83cc2
max_cpus VCPUs for a VM.
a83cc2
a83cc2
This allows us the restore the ppc max_cpus limitation to the upstream
a83cc2
default and minimize the ppc hack in kvm-all.c.
