Subject: [PATCH v9 8/9] KVM: x86: Allow userspace set maximum VCPU id for VM

Introduce new max_vcpu_ids in KVM for x86 architecture. Userspace
can assign maximum possible vcpu id for current VM session using
KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID of KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl().

This is done for x86 only because the sole use case is to guide
memory allocation for PID-pointer table, a structure needed to
enable VMX IPI.

By default, max_vcpu_ids set as KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS.

+
+Userspace is able to calculate the limit to APIC ID values from designated CPU
+topology. This capability allows userspace to specify maximum possible APIC ID
+assigned for current VM session prior to the creation of vCPUs. By design, it
+can set only once and doesn't accept change any more. KVM will manage memory
+allocation of VM-scope structures which depends on the value of APIC ID.
+
+Calling KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION for this capability returns the value of maximum APIC
+ID that KVM supports at runtime. It sets as KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS by default.
