Hmm, so worst case that's 64 4K pages:
(8192*32)/4096 = 64 4K pages.
We can minimize the worst case memory usage. The number of VCPUs
supported by KVM maybe less than NR_CPUS. e.g Currently KVM_MAX_VCPUS is
set to 288
KVM_MAX_VCPUS is a property of the host, whereas this code runs in the
guest, e.g. KVM_MAX_VCPUS could be 2048 in the host for all we know.
IIRC, during guest creation time qemu will check the host supported
VCPUS count. If count is greater than KVM_MAX_VCPUS then it will
fail to launch guest (or fail to hot plug vcpus). In other words, the
number of vcpus in a KVM guest will never to > KVM_MAX_VCPUS.
Am I missing something ?
