GICv3 restricts that the maximum number of CPUs in affinity 0 (one
cluster) is 16. That is to say the upper 4 bits of affinity 0 is unused.
Current implementation considers that AFF0 is equal to vCPUID, which
makes all vCPUs in one cluster, limiting its number to 16. If we would
like to support more than 16 number of vCPU in one guest, we need to
make use of AFF1. Considering the unused upper 4 bits, we need to create
a pair of functions mapping the vCPUID and virtual affinity.
