Initialize the machine specific max_cpus limit as per the maximum range
of CPU IPIs available. Keeping between 4096 to 8192 will throw IRQ not
free error due to XIVE/XICS limitation and keeping beyond 8192 will hit
assert in tcg_region_init or spapr_xive_claim_irq.

Logs:

Without patch fix:

[root@host build]# qemu-system-ppc64 -accel tcg -smp 10,maxcpus=4097
