Description of problem:
VM fails to start with Exit message: unsupported configuration: Maximum CPUs greater than specified machine type limit 384.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-4.4.5.5-0.13.el8ev.noarch

How reproducible:100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure VM with 'Virtual Sockets': 2, 'Cores per Virtual Socket': 64, 'Threads per Core' 1, Total Virtual CPUs 128
2. Configure cluster with checked option 'Count threads as Cores'
3. Stat VM on ppc host

host lscpu:

root@ibm-p9b-21 vdsm]# lscpu
Architecture:        ppc64le
Byte Order:          Little Endian
CPU(s):              128
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-127
Thread(s) per core:  4
Core(s) per socket:  16
Socket(s):           2
NUMA node(s):        2
Model:               2.2 (pvr 004e 1202)
Model name:          POWER9, altivec supported
CPU max MHz:         3800.0000
CPU min MHz:         2166.0000
L1d cache:           32K
L1i cache:           32K
L2 cache:            512K
L3 cache:            10240K
NUMA node0 CPU(s):   0-63
NUMA node8 CPU(s):   64-127

Actual results:VM fails to start with Exit message: unsupported configuration: Maximum CPUs greater than specified machine type limit 384.


Expected results: VM starts
