KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS is used to get the "recommended" maximum number of VCPUs and arm64/mips/riscv report num_online_cpus(). Powerpc reports either num_online_cpus() or num_present_cpus(), s390 has multiple constants depending on hardware features. On x86, KVM reports an arbitrary value of '710' which is supposed to be the maximum tested value but it's possible to test all KVM_MAX_VCPUS even when there are less physical CPUs available. Drop the arbitrary '710' value and return num_online_cpus() on x86 as well. The recommendation will match other architectures and will mean 'no CPU overcommit'. For reference, QEMU only queries KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS to print a warning when the requested vCPU number exceeds it. The static limit of '710' is quite weird as smaller systems with just a few physical CPUs should certainly "recommend" less.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
