The RPC limits for cpu maps didn't allow to use libvirt on ultra big
boxes. This patch increases size of the limits to support a maximum of
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.

4096 sounds large, but I can't help wondering if we should pre-empt the
inevitable and go even bigger. In terms of RPC message size, we can
afford to allow 16384 host CPUS and 4096 guest CPUS ?

We can do that. The cpu map for a 16384 host with 4096 guest cpus is 8 MiB large. The RPC message limit is almost 16MiB so we should be fine even with those (now seemingly insane) numbers.

I'll send a v2 in a moment.
