Hrm.  This ties the internal VP id to the userspace chosen server
number, which isn't ideal.  It puts a constraint on those server
numbers that you wouldn't otherwise have.
We should probably do the same as the xics-on-xive code, which is to
put the server number through kvmppc_pack_vcpu_id(), which is a
folding function that maps the QEMU vcpu id (which is the server
number) down to the range 0..KVM_MAX_VCPUS-1, and works for the
allocation patterns used in the various vSMT modes.
yes. I will see how it goes.

Thanks,
