Yes, indeed the backend don't have any limit.

We could indeed remove the limit in the gui.

I think we shouldn't limit based on the current host, as anyway, we can
create && migrate the vm on antoher host just after the create.


Maybe an improvement in qemu-server, could be to add additional check
at vm start, (maybe a simple warn), depending of qemu version or
setup. 
For example, 1024 cores only works with q35 && qemu 8.1,
it could be interesting to give an clean hint  mesage to user instead
a qemu process error.
