The motivation is not clear from the above text and needs to improve.

How about the following ?

Currently, KVM assumes the minimum of implemented HGEIE bits and
"BIT(gc->guest_index_bits) - 1" as the number of guest files available
across all CPUs. This will not work only when CPUs have different number
of guest files because KVM may incorrectly allocate a guest file on a CPU
with fewer guest files.

Need comments explaining why we are taking the
minimum number of guest files across CPUs.
