Changes from v1:
- fix actually keeping the old max value for the 7.2 machine type,
  which was the original goal, but was done wrongly

This is related to:

c705d0d8d6ed1a520b1ff92cb2f83fef19522d30.camel@suse.com/">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/c705d0d8d6ed1a520b1ff92cb2f83fef19522d30.camel@suse.com/

With this applied to QEMU, I've been able to start a VM with as high as
980 vCPUs (even if I was on an host with 384 pCPUs, so everything was
super slow!). After that, I started to see messages like this:

"SMBIOS 2.1 table length 66822 exceeds 65535"

Basing on the discussion happening in that thread, I'm going straight
to 1024, as it seems to me that it's going to be working well soon
(especially considering that this is meant for next release, not for
7.2)

Thanks and Regards
