I don't remember the exact numbers. This:
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_4.3_Feature_List#Performance_and_Scalability_Enhancements
says you should be able to reach 750 vcpus, but it's probably
_in_total_, not necessarily within a single guest.

Also, these talks should have some numbers (although the latter is about
XenServer), but again, it's mostly about total number, I think:
