It doesn't make sense to return the recommended maximum number of
vCPUs which exceeds the maximum possible number of vCPUs.

This looks odd. This means that depending on the phase userspace is
in while initialising the VM, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS can return one thing
or the other.
For example, I create a VM on a 32 CPU system, NR_VCPUS says 32.
I create a GICv2 interrupt controller, it now says 8.
That's a change in behaviour that is visible by userspace, which
I'm keen on avoiding. I'd rather have the kvm and !kvm cases
return the same thing.
Thanks,
M.
