Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Michal Privoznik 3b94239ffb qemu_driver: Try KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS only if defined
With our recent patch (1715c83b5f) we thrive to get the correct
number of maximal VCPUs. However, we are using a constant from
linux/kvm.h which may be not defined in every distro. Hence, we
should guard usage of the constant with ifdef preprocessor
directive. This was introduced in kernel:

    KVM: x86: Raise the hard VCPU count limit

    The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254.

    This will allow developers to easily work on scalability
    and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without
    patching the kernel.

    To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS
    now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this
    should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS
    returns the hard limit which is now 254.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
