Hm. If it were global (where you can't know the size of a specific
VM) I'd certainly see the concern about not expanding the size of the
array.
As it is, I'm a little perplexed that we care so much about the
difference between KVM_MAX_VCPUS and KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, a factor of 8,
when we apparently don't care about the difference between the vm's
actual number of cpus and KVM_MAX_VCPUS, a factor of maybe 2048 (for a
1vcpu guest and powernv_defconfig).
