And the below patch works for me, I can support max 255 vcpus for

This needs to depend on the machine type, but apart from that I think
I don't know why. Because the negative effects for this change don't exist
on current QEMU IIUC, and we don't have compatible problems for live
migration.

CPUID should never change with the same machine type and command line.

OK, then how do we add compat code for the CPUID change? It's not a visible
property.

You can add a new property, something like hv-cpuid-limits-eax.

Sounds good. Let me try.  :)

Thanks,

Hi Gonglei,
Any update on this issue?

We've found that SVVP on WS2016 is passing successfully with the above change
and more than 64 vCPUs defined.

Vadim.
