Intel-SIG: commit 35875316 ("KVM: x86: Allow userspace to set maximum VCPU id for VM")

-------------------------------------

KVM: x86: Allow userspace to 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_ID.
