Set sockets and/or cores to a 2^n+1 value. It will use n+1 bits for the
socket ID and core ID, making APIC ID larger than CPU index. You can get
a very large APIC ID if you use, for example:
-smp 1,cores=17,threads=17,maxcpus=200
There's code to limit the maximum APIC ID and abort if it is too large,
already (so the above command-line will make QEMU abort). If we want to
limit APIC IDs to <255 instead of <256, we just need to change
ACPI_CPU_HOTPLUG_ID_LIMIT.
