XenServer uses dom0_max_vcpus=1-16 so we dont oversubscribe (even if
CPUs get turned off in firmware), but top out at 16.

It is possible to use this option to create more vcpus, but whether dom0
decides to do anything with them is up to dom0.  Linux won't go any
further than it can see CPUs listed in the ACPI tables (and yes, this is
a host/guest laying violation for PV dom0 where dom0 sees the system
ACPI tables.)
