Subject[RFC PATCH v1 25/42] vm_planes: drop unused per-plane vcpu_count
Date
Under the in-kernel "Option B" secure-plane model the secure plane runs
on plane-0's existing vCPU thread and is left stopped until the first VTL
call, so a plane never owns a distinct set of vCPUs. The vcpu_count field
in struct vm_plane_config (and the matching parse-state copy) is no longer
consulted by anything in the kernel: drop the field, its VCPU_COUNT config
key parsing, its zero-init and its presence check.

No functional change; the value was already unused on the boot path.
