maxvcpus is a 'unsigned short' and count is an 'unsigned long', thus if
def->maxvcpus != count after this point, then we have the overflow,
right?  Or would the compiler "adjust" that comparison behind our back
on an if check?

Same comment as 'maxvcpus'

ACK - I think what you've done is right, although perhaps someone with a
bit more knowledge of what the compiler does could pipe in (I'm curious
too).
