Heh, actually it get catched futher in code by

	max_cpus = kvm__max_cpus(kvm);

	if (nrcpus > max_cpus) {
		printf("  # Limit the number of CPUs to %d\n", max_cpus);
		kvm->nrcpus	= max_cpus;
	}

so no issue here (except that MP table can support a limited number of
cpus and for 32bit apic addressing we need ACPI support implemented I think).
