If it increases to 32, then we should certainly check based on something
like KVM_API_VERSION. I just don't think its worth checking for the
ancient versions which only support 1 cpu because no one will be seriously
using them.
It's worth noting that kvm-60 in f8 doesn't support 16 vcpus, it only
supports 4. 16 vcpu support is only present in kvm-62 and later. So if
this is ever backported to f8 and kvm isn't updated, we just replace one
bug with another.
