The range of 262144 is specific to cgroups (qemu and lxc); it is
possible that some other hypervisor may add similar support for this
parameter, but have a different range.  Then again, we already
documented it is specific to qemu and lxc, so we could update a change
in range at the time of introducing the cpu_shares parameter to another
hypervisor.

However, your attempt is still wordy.  Can we go with something more
compact, as in:

B<Note>: The cpu_shares parameter has a valid value range of 0-262144;
negative values are wrapped to positive, and larger values are capped at
the maximum.  Therefore, -1 is a useful shorthand for 262144.


Yeah, It's more compact, updated with above, and pushed, thanks
