[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] target-i386: prevent users from setting threads


From: Wei Huang
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] target-i386: prevent users from setting threads>1 for AMD CPUs
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2014 15:44:19 -0400

AMD CPU doesn't support hyperthreading. Even though QEMU fixes
this issue by setting CPUID_0000_0001_EBX and CPUID_8000_0008_ECX
via conversion, it is better to stop end-users in the first place
with a warning message.
