TBH this isn't about "a warning/error message to be missing" - it is a request
to add the feature to be able to "Allow creating max number of VCPUs on POWER9"
and should be declared like that.
@JFH/@Manjo - I leave it to you to discuss that and make the change.
Furthermore the patches referred are kernel only, so qemu task is
invalid and I'm adding a kernel task instead.
And finally all patches are in 4.19 upstream, so Disco is already fix-released
except for SRU considerations. Since Power9 is >=Bionic that is the max SRU
target (if any).
I'll add the bug tasks but leave it to JFH/Manjo/Kernel Team to set them to
anything but "NEW".

---Problem Description---
qemu crashes with `kvm_init_vcpu failed: Invalid argument` during guest boot
cores >256 but the error message is not clearly explains it.
Contact Information = [email protected]
---uname output---
4.15.0-1016-ibm-gt
Machine Type = power9 ppc64le
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
---Steps to Reproduce---
# /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -smp 257 -enable-kvm -monitor stdio
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: Number of SMP cpus requested (257) exceeds the
recommended cpus supported by KVM (128)
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: Number of hotpluggable cpus requested (257)
exceeds the recommended cpus supported by KVM (128)
QEMU 2.11.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) kvm_init_vcpu failed: Invalid argument
Expected Result:
1. Guest should boot fine or
2. Proper error message stating cores >256 need to have thread>1 because
smp=512 with threads=2 works fine like below
# /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -smp 512,cores=256,threads=2 -enable-kvm
-monitor stdio
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: Number of SMP cpus requested (512) exceeds the
recommended cpus supported by KVM (128)
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: Number of hotpluggable cpus requested (512)
exceeds the recommended cpus supported by KVM (128)
