OK, without hotplug, max > smp doesn't gain anything, max < smp results
in an error, and therefore the only useful case is max == smp.

I now see what you mean though. If we don't want something like
-smp 1,maxcpus=9 to erroneously succeed on a gicv2 machine, then we
should be checking the global max_cpus here. I agree it should be
fixed, because, even though it changes nothing atm, we don't want to
allow invalid command lines.

Will you send the patch?

Thanks,
