This tests the commit 7298fd7de5551 ("hw/smbios: Fix thread count in
type4").
In smbios_build_type_4_table() (hw/smbios/smbios.c), if the number of
threads in the socket is not more than 255, then smbios type4 table
encodes threads per socket into the thread count field.
So for the topology in this case, there're the following considerations:
1. threads per socket should be not more than 255 to ensure we could
cover the thread count field.
2. The original bug was that threads per socket was miscalculated, so
now we should configure as many topology levels as possible (multiple
sockets & dies, no module since x86 hasn't supported it) to cover
more general topology scenarios, to ensure that the threads per
socket encoded in the thread count field is correct.
3. For the more general topology, we should also add "cpus" (presented
threads for machine) and "maxcpus" (total threads for machine) to
make sure that configuring unpluged CPUs in smp (cpus < maxcpus)
does not affect the correctness of threads per socket for thread
count field.
Based on these considerations, select the topology as the follow:
-smp cpus=15,maxcpus=54,sockets=2,dies=3,cores=3,threads=3
The expected thread count = threads per socket = threads (3) * cores (3)
* dies (3) = 27.
