KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS always return the maximum possible number of VCPUs, irrespective of the selected interrupt controller. This is pretty misleading for userspace that selects a GICv2 on a GICv3 system that supports v2 compat: It always gets a maximum of 512 VCPUs, even if the effective limit is 8. The 9th VCPU will fail to be created, which is unexpected as far as userspace is concerned. Fortunately, we already have the right information stashed in the kvm structure, and we can return it as requested.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
