Is there a limitation about the number of CPUs supported in one netlink
event?

IMO, we still have to use a fixed number here because debugfs can be
changed by someone else, and userspace application like intel-lpmd
cannot make assumption that the netlink message follows what it set.

or can we append one magic item in the end of one update?
userspace can just check the magic item no matter the number of CPU per
netlink event.
