I don't think the tools are up to anything beyond 32 yet. The (64-bit)
hypervisor allows up to 8192 vCPU-s iirc (but that's a truly
theoretical limit, as Dom0 or a guest likely won't be able to bring up
that many due to there only being 4096 event channels; current
Linux requires 5-6 of them per vCPU for IPIs and timer vIRQ).
