My hesitation with this rename is that the max _number_ of IDs is not the same
thing as the max allowed ID. E.g. on x86, given a capability that enumerates the
max number of IDs, I would expect to be able to create vCPUs with arbitrary 32-bit
x2APIC IDs so long as the total number of IDs is below the max.
