Hi! When only the vCPU tag is specified, libvirt by default generates a
multi-socket topology(sockets=vCPUs,cores=1,threads=1) for the qemu command
line. Is there a specific reason behind choice of this default
behavior? Could a default of (socket=1,cores=vCPUs,threads=1) would have
been a better choice ?

We need to maintain backward compatibility. Changing it would mean that guest
without topology configuration would suddenly see different CPU topology and
that could confuse them or even invalidate SW licences and similar beasts. If
you want different topology, you need to explicitly specify it in the XML.
