vt-doc: Remove note about exceeding 255 vCPUs (#1789)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Starting with libvirt 10.10.0, an iommu and ioapic are configured
automatically if needed, e.g. when configuring a VM with >255 vCPUs.
Remove the note about needing to add the configuration manually.

<title>Exceeding 255 CPUs</title>
<para>
With &kvm;, it is possible to define a &vmguest; with more than 255
CPUs. However, additional configuration is necessary to start and run
the &vmguest;. The <literal>ioapic</literal> feature needs to be
tuned and an IOMMU device needs to be added to the &vmguest;. Below
is an example configuration for 288 CPUs.
