As it also affects KVM:

    def get_default_jobs():
        if multiprocessing.cpu_count > 1:
            if kvm_available(vmcls.arch):
                return multiprocessing.cpu_count() // 2
            elif os.uname().machine == "x86_64" and \
                 vmcls.arch in ["aarch64", "x86_64", "i386"]:
                # MTTCG is available on these arches and we can allow more 
cores.
                # But only up to a reasonable limit. User can always override
                # these limits with --jobs.
                return min(multiprocessing.cpu_count() // 2, 8)
        else:
            return 1
