Is VGIC_MAX_CPUS limit architectural or > juts an implementation detail? Indeed, the MAX_VCPU overhead is per VM. The MAX_IRQS overhead is both per-vm and per-vcpu. The GICv2 architecture has a limit of 8 CPUs - not at all an implementation detail. GICv3 remove this limitation. M. -- Jazz is not dead.
