If I count correctly, it is impossible to have ID bigger than this: #define KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 4) (And we can also use NR_CPUS instead of 8192.) Thanks.

For HPC usage case, it will create a huge VM with vcpus number as same as host cpus and this requires more vcpus support in a single VM. This patch is to increase max vcpu number from 288 to 8192 which is current default maximum cpu number for Linux kernel.
