We could have a #define KVM_CPU_BITMAP_SIZE in the arch specific 
header files that go to include/asm/. For s390, we have one of our 
rocket science virtualization accelerating facilities that limits us 
to 64 cpus per guest. This may well be extended later on, but for now 
that would be sufficient. Thinking about Christoph Lameter with his 4k 
CPU boxes, I believe ia64 would want faaaar more than that.

I see. But the interrupt vector can be encoded in __u64?
