Libvirt uses maxcpus only if the configuration explicitly has less
active cpus than the maximum number. This option would be the best IMO.

At that point libvirt also needs a way to detect that the new argument
is supported by qemu, so we can start passing it on the command line
basically every time we now pass 'maxcpus'.
The warning will get most probably ignored by people using libvirt as
the stdout/err of qemu is not visible to them.
