Subject: globally limit the maximum number of CPUs
26ba25
26ba25
We now globally limit the number of VCPUs.
26ba25
Especially, there is no way one can specify more than
26ba25
max_cpus VCPUs for a VM.
26ba25
26ba25
This allows us the restore the ppc max_cpus limitation to the upstream
26ba25
default and minimize the ppc hack in kvm-all.c.
