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.

Consider rephrasing the "Set to a lower number..." sentence to something like "Choosing a lower number decreases the size of the VM data structure.". Also, please rephrase or get rid of the "Set to a higher number to test scalability." sentence; you increase this value to be able to be able to run more VCPUs (for whatever reason).

Drop the _ARM_ part of the name. We can then introduce a config option like this to aarch64 and other arches using the same name - allowing grep to show them all.
