Subject: [PATCH V2] KVM/x86: Increase max vcpu number to 8192

For HPC usage case, it will create a huge VM with vcpus number as same as host
cpus and this requires more vcpus support in a single VM. This patch is to
increase max vcpu number from 288 to 8192 which is current default maximum cpu
number for Linux kernel.
