Add a Kconfig entry to set the maximum number of vCPUs per KVM guest and set the default value to 4096 when MAXSMP is enabled, as there are use cases that want to create more than the currently allowed 1024 vCPUs and are more than happy to eat the memory overhead. The Hyper-V TLFS doesn't allow more than 64 sparse banks, i.e. allows a maximum of 4096 virtual CPUs. Cap KVM's maximum number of virtual CPUs to 4096 to avoid exceeding Hyper-V's limit as KVM support for Hyper-V is unconditional, and alternatives like dynamically disabling Hyper-V enlightenments that rely on sparse banks would require non-trivial code changes.

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.
