It is currently allowed to explicitly specified the topology parameters
as 0 in the -smp cmdlines, such as -smp cpus=8,maxcpus=0,sockets=0. And
for the values of cpus/sockets/cores/threads, we always determine that
they are ommited if either set to 0 in the cmdline(e.g. sockets=0) or
just not explicitly specified, then we compute the ommited values.

We probably should also treat "maxcpus=0" as ommited and then set the
value to match smp cpus. This makes cmdlines like "-smp 8, maxcpus=0"
start to work as "-smp 8,maxcpus=8,sockets=8,cores=1,threads=1".

Note that this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines, but
will allow configuration like "-smp cpus=n,maxcpus=0" to be valid.

Personally, I'd rather see -smp cpus=n,sockets=0 become an error than to
"fix" -smp cpus=n,maxcpus=0.

Yes, a value of 0 is not really something a user should ever be explicitly
setting. It is purely an internal default that is used by QEMU to identify
when it needs to auto-fill a value.

A user should give a non-zero value, or omit the parameter entirely

Daniel
