The RPC limits for cpu maps didn't allow to use libvirt on ultra big

4096 cpus on the host with the built-in maximum of 256 cpus per guest.
The full cpu map of such a system takes 128 kilobytes and the map for
vcpu pinning is 512 bytes long.

We missed rc1 - is this still worth getting into 1.0.6?

I'm not opposed to the change, just questioning the timing of it.


I don't mind waiting until after the release to push this. Anyways this should be safe as we are just raising the limits and with some trickery I was able to verify that RPC is okay with transporting this amount of information this by reporting fake counts of cpus.
