[Qemu-devel] [PULL for-2.0 05/13] target-ppc: Force CPU threads count to be a power of 2

[Andreas Färber]

From: Bharata B Rao <address@hidden>

PowerPC kernel expects the number of SMT threads in a core to be a power
of 2. Since QEMU doesn't enforce this, it leads to an early guest kernel
crash if invalid threads count is specified.

Prevent this crash and make it a graceful exit from QEMU itself by
validating the user-supplied threads count.
