Re: [PATCH] smp: drop support for deprecated (invalid topologies)

it's was deprecated since 3.1 Support for invalid topologies is removed, the user must ensure that topologies described with -smp include all possible cpus, i.e. (sockets * cores * threads) == maxcpus or QEMU will exit with error. Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov <imammedo(a)redhat.com&gt;
