Message-Id: <1367112664-19862-1-git-send-email-chegu_vinod@hp.com> Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:31:04 -0700 From: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@...com> To: kvm@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: gleb@...hat.com, Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@...com> Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Increase the "hard" max VCPU limit KVM guests today use 8bit APIC ids allowing for 256 ID's. Reserving one ID for Broadcast interrupts should leave 255 ID's. In case of KVM there is no need for reserving another ID for IO-APIC so the hard max limit for VCPUS can be increased from 254 to 255.
