Host kernel within [4.18, 5.3] report an erroneous KVM_MAX_VCPUS=512
for ARM. The actual capability to instantiate more than 256 vcpus
was fixed in 5.4 with the upgrade of the KVM_IRQ_LINE ABI to support
vcpu id encoded on 12 bits instead of 8 and a redistributor consuming
a single KVM IO device instead of 2.
So let's check this capability when attempting to use more than 256
vcpus within any ARM kvm accelerated machine.
