For enabling VCPU hotplug with OVMF, OVMF needs to know the value of "max_cpus". This quantity is not passed to the firmware currently -- SeaBIOS receives the (exclusive) maximum APICID, which is not useful to OVMF --, so introduce a new fw_cfg file for this purpose. Note: when OVMF is built with -D SMM_REQUIRE, this patch series is just a small building block, towards the full VCPU hotplug feature. However, when OVMF is built without -D SMM_REQUIRE, this series (together with the counterpart patch set for OVMF) completes the VCPU hotplug feature: it allows S3 resume to work with VCPUs hot-plugged previously (at OS runtime, of course).
