The cpu hierarchy topology information parsed out from QEMU -smp
command line will be exposed to guest kernel through ACPI and DT
since machine type 6.1, so we will expect more detailed topology
descriptions and will be more strict with the -smp cmdlines when
parsing them.

Compared with the default smp_parse() where all missing values
are automatically calculated in turn, there is some difference
in ARM specific virt_smp_parse(). The parsing logic is like:
At least one of cpus or maxcpus must be provided. Threads will
default to 1 if not provided (assume not support SMT). Sockets
and cores must be either both provided or both not.

Note, if neither sockets nor cores are provided, we calculate
all the missing values like smp_parse() did before, but will
disable support of exposing these auto-populated descriptions
to guest. Then guest will populate its topology by default.

Can't do this yet, need to do it later, because...

+            error_report("at least one of cpus or maxcpus must be provided");

+            vmc->no_cpu_topology = true;
...we should do ensure threads == 0 here, otherwise provide another error
message.

+
+            /* Compute missing values, prefer sockets over cores */
+            cores = 1;
Now threads = 1 is good here.

+            if (cpus == 0) {
+                sockets = 1;
+                cpus = sockets * cores * threads;
This should be

   cpus = maxcpus;
   sockets = cpus;

+            } else {
+                maxcpus = maxcpus > 0 ? maxcpus : cpus;
+                sockets = maxcpus / (cores * threads);
We know cores and threads should both be 1 here, so just do

  sockets = maxcpus;

+            }
+        } else if (sockets > 0 && cores > 0) {
Now
         threads = threads > 0 ? threads : 1;

is good here.

+            cpus = cpus > 0 ? cpus : sockets * cores * threads;
+            maxcpus = maxcpus > 0 ? maxcpus : cpus;
We should calculate maxcpus first based on the topology,

   maxcpus = maxcpus > 0 ? maxcpus : sockets * cores * threads;
   cpus = cpus > 0 ? cpus : maxcpus;
From comments above, now I see something was missed by me in
previous discussion in v3. We won't allow that threads is provided
but sockets and cores are not. And cpus should default to maxcpus
if it is not explicitly specified.

I will fix as above suggests.
Please do comprehensive testing to ensure everything works as it
should. You can drop this function into a standalone executable
and run it for all possible inputs, maxcpus=0, maxcpus < cpus, maxcpus ==
cpus, maxcpus > cpus, sockets = 0, sockets < cpus, sockets == cpus, etc.
Of course, these tests are definitely necessary, will do it after the rework.

Thnaks,
Yanan
