I have just realized that the Hyper-V sparse bitmap format can
support only up to 4096 CPUs, and the current implementation of
sparse_set_to_vcpu_mask() won't even work correctly if
KVM_MAX_VCPUS is larger than 4096.

This means vp_bitmap can't and will never be larger than 512
bytes.  Isn't a per-CPU variable for vp_bitmap overkill in this
case?
