Calling path:
main_vcpupin->cpurange_parse->update_cpumap_range->libxl_bitmap_set

void libxl_bitmap_set(libxl_bitmap *bitmap, int bit)
{
     if (bit >= bitmap->size * 8)
         return;
     bitmap->map[bit / 8] |= 1 << (bit & 7);
}

I referenced above code. It just ignore the cpu number beyond the max 
CPU count rather than raise an error.

thanks
