The lack of "ull" on '1' actually means this will probably go sideways at >32 vCPUs.
Regardless, there needs to be an actual fallback path when the number of vCPUs
exceeds what the IPI-boost can support. That said, it should be quite easy to
allocate a bitmap to support an arbitrary number of vCPUs.
