Here are the minutes from the previous techboard discussions:
[1]: http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/YZ43U36bFWHYClAi@platinum/
[2]: http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20211202112506.68acaa1a@hermes.local/
AFAIK, there has been no progress with dynamic max_lcores, so I guess the techboard's conclusion still stands:
There is no identified use-case where a single application requires more than 128 lcores. If a case a use-case exists for a single application that uses more than 128 lcores, the TB is ok to update the default config value.

This is done on native ARM builds, so why not on native X86 builds too?
