Regardless of how many CPs an LPAR may allow there may be an operating system restriction to a smaller number.
It happens that at this point in time z/OS (1.11) is a bit ahead of the LPAR limit so that it can support what is allowed within the LPAR. I don't know about other operating systems. As to whether customers are actually trying an 80-way z/OS, I can say only that our testing has tried it..
