From: Greg Kurz <address@hidden>
Some systems can already provide more than 255 hardware threads.
Bumping the QEMU limit to 1024 seems reasonable:
- it has no visible overhead in top;
- the limit itself has no effect on hot paths.

With ulimit -u/-n bumped (nproc and nofile), I was able to boot a guest
with 1024 CPUs, both with threads=1 and threads=8.
It takes time though - 3:15 to get to the guest shell but it is probably
expected on 160-threads machine.
