[PATCH] kvm: Check if smp_cpus exceeds max cpus supported by kvm

[riegamaths@xxxxxxxxx]

From: Dunrong Huang <riegamaths@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a helper function for fetching max cpus supported by kvm.

Make QEMU exit with an error message if smp_cpus exceeds limit
of VCPU count retrieved by invoking this helper function.
