@Bin Li,
I'm prepping this for the stable release updates and wanted to check with you 
if you will be willing and able to verify the fix on your hardware?
That would be two times - once with a PPA I will provide soon and once more 
with a package from Bionic/Cosmic-proposed when the actual SRU takes place.

Let me know if you have the necessary HW to verify this as it would help
to raise the confidence for the SRU team [1] to accept the change.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Some arm systems can have unexpected high core_id's which breaks 
+    libvirts arbitrary assumption to limit it at 4k
+ 
+  * Upstream fix drops this limit and makes use of libvirts ability to size 
+    the bitsets automatically as needed
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * This is the hard part, as it needs special HW to be affected, but also 
+    to verify the fix.
+ 
+  * We can ask the reporter to verify on his platform, but not 100% rely on 
+    that in case he is unavailable.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * The change is removing a limit which only hit very special HW. For this 
+    special HW it is a fix, for all others it should be no functional 
+    change.
+  * The one regression I could think of is that this dynamic bitmask 
+    handling would have (not yet identified issues) that would affect other 
+    cases (the feature is almost three years old now since lbivirt 1.3.3).
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * n/a
