+          qemu: Add support for overriding max threads per process limit
+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          systemd-based systems impose a limit on the number of threads a
+          process can spawn, which in some cases can be exceeded by QEMU
+          processes running VMs. Add a <code>max_threads_per_process</code>
+          option to qemu.conf to override the system default.
