Re: [PATCH RESEND] arm64: KVM: Add Kconfig option for max VCPUs per-Guest

Current max VCPUs per-Guest is set to 4 which is preventing us from creating a Guest (or VM) with 8 VCPUs on Host (e.g. X-Gene Storm SOC) with 8 Host CPUs.

The correct value of max VCPUs per-Guest should be same as the max CPUs supported by GICv2 which is 8 but, increasing value of max VCPUs per-Guest can make things slower hence we add Kconfig option to let KVM users select appropriate max VCPUs per-Guest.

•  Static number of max supported virtual CPUs per VM.
  

•  If you choose a high number, the vcpu structures will be quite
  

•  large, so only choose a reasonable number that you expect to
  

•  actually use.
