No, we could just have static array then.  KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID is expected
to be raised to INT_MAX and eventually UINT_MAX, so it would not be
practical.  The dynamic array is there to avoid wasting space in the
common case, where VMs have only low APIC IDs.

Inintial patches had 255 to minimize a chance of regressions as the
static array was that big, but starting with max_id = 0 is our goal and
should be ok even without other changes.
