Hey Chris
Considering we are coming from the SPARC side which lately went beyond a
thousand cores, I have never heard of us having a limit. And Joyent had
some beasts of Xeon's with smartOS which we simply ride along for
support as illumos-gate has those patches IIRC.
If you are using OLD KVM Vm's before 1.3 you will need to specify
sockets instead of cores, due to a bug, but otherwise you are good.
And if there is a limit I think that classifies as bug! So I support
upstreaming a fix to get that sorted.

I'm looking to help building packages. Both current, as
well as newer versions. I have a large server farm. But
primarily BSD based. As such I'm looking into a new build
box, based on an Opteron or Xeon. So before I take the
plunge. I was hoping to add as many CPU/cores as possible.
Which begs the question: haw many CPUs does OI support?
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
