We are in the process of increasing max CPUs supported by QEMU virt machine to 512. There are already high CPU count systems already announced (example SiFive P650 which will have 16 cores). The "maxItems = 9" set by this patch will soon be out-of-date. The "maxItems" should represent PLIC spec constraints so please don't add any synthetic value here.
