Subject: globally limit the maximum number of CPUs
22c213
22c213
We now globally limit the number of VCPUs.
22c213
Especially, there is no way one can specify more than
22c213
max_cpus VCPUs for a VM.
22c213
22c213
This allows us the restore the ppc max_cpus limitation to the upstream
22c213
default and minimize the ppc hack in kvm-all.c.
