It's just that the 'max' setting doesn't explicitly describe the
hardware topology, but sure, the setting only makes sense for hotplug
after all and then a different hardware topology is needed. And with the
virito setting, one can argue that it does describe the hardware
topology. So feel free to keep the conditionals as-is in your patches :)
