The code I mentioned only runs if the -no-kvm-irqchip option is passed.  
It's not the highest performing option...

So this isn't used a lot.  But cpus definitely use cpu numbers (as apic 
ids), so qemu needs to be prepared to handle this.  As to scalability, 
that takes will take a lot more work than removing/changing arbitrary 
limits.  Look at qemu_mutex and weep.
