Re: [PATCH] hw/core/machine-smp: Remove deprecated "parameter=0" SMP configurations

From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu(a)intel.com&gt; The "parameter=0" SMP configurations have been marked as deprecated since v6.2. For these cases, -smp currently returns the warning and adjusts the zeroed parameters to 1 by default. Remove the above compatibility logic in v9.0, and return error directly if any -smp parameter is set as 0.
