Commit 8c3ba334f8588e1d5099f8602cf01897720e0eca, "KVM: x86: Raise the
hard VCPU count limit", upstream introduced the notion of a recommended
vcpu max limit.

Switch the order so the recommended vcpu max limit is used instead of
the actual max vcpu limit.

This would break "working" configurations.  Perhaps we should just warn
if the VCPU limit exceeds KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS, and fail if the VCPU limit
exceeds KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS.

Patch 2 is fine, ok to apply it (since it fixes a real bug) and then you
can work on top of it?
