IMC_MAX_PMU is used for static storage (per_nest_pmu_arr) which holds
nest pmu information. Current value for the macro is 32 based on
the initial number of nest pmu units supported by the nest microcode.
Currently 29 nest units are enabled based on the system configuration.
But going forward, microcode could support more nest units (max of 64
nest units). Hence fix the value for the macro.

There should be no reason to have a hard coded limit.

We should just fix the code to dynamically size the array based on
what's found in the device tree.

cheers

Yes. My bad. Device tree handling part is done in the
platform/powernv side and this data (total number of nest pmus)
can be extended from there. Will work on it.

Thanks for review comments.
