I understand the goal, here, but QEMU already allows all the
combinations above. In this case, we need to find a reasonable
enough way to handle these configurations.
The main obstacle here is that we can't make things like
"-cpu EPYC -smp cores=5,threads=2" stop working, unfortunately,
or it will make existing configurations stop working.
But we have multiple options to handle this:
One option is to automatically disable topoext (and refuse to
enable it if explicitly set to "on") if the socket/core/thread
topology is incompatible with what we're trying to do.
Another one is to try to calculate a reasonable enough value for
the given configuration.
