As shown in 'man virsh' about schedinfo:

This note documents historical kernel limits; if the kernel has changed,
this may be out of date.

I'm a bit reluctant to add these numbers - if the kernel ever changes
its range again (which HAS happened for some cgroup tunables), then we
are needlessly preventing use of the newer range.

Yes, I hate these numbers too. But the range is defined in kernel/sched/sched.h

#define MIN_SHARES  (1UL <<  1)
#define MAX_SHARES  (1UL << 18)

and used in scheduler.

shares = clamp(shares, scale_load(MIN_SHARES), scale_load(MAX_SHARES));

So we can not access it out from kernel.

As I found there was some numbers for period and quota here, I added
the shares number here.
