We should probably do the same as the xics-on-xive code, which is to
put the server number through kvmppc_pack_vcpu_id(), which is a
folding function that maps the QEMU vcpu id (which is the server
number) down to the range 0..KVM_MAX_VCPUS-1, and works for the
allocation patterns used in the various vSMT modes.
