Add a new attribute to both XIVE and XICS-on-XIVE KVM devices so that userspace can tell how many interrupt servers it needs. If a VM needs less than the current default of KVM_MAX_VCPUS (2048), we can allocate less VPs in OPAL. Combined with a core stride (VSMT) that matches the number of guest threads per core, this may substantially increases the number of VMs that can run concurrently with an in-kernel XIVE device. Since the legacy XIVE KVM device is exposed to userspace through the XICS KVM API, a new attribute group is added to it for this purpose. While here, fix the syntax of the existing KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES in the XICS documentation.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
