Just to repeat my response to the original version of this patch,
which I don't recall having got any answer from you:
"Using nr_cpu_ids, when available, would seem a better fit. And
I don't see why, on dumps from old hypervisors, you wouldn't
want to continue using max_cpus. Oh, wait, I see - you would
have to be able to tell whether it actually sits in .init.data, which
might not be strait forward."
