Thread-topic: cpuid information to hvm guest

Keir,

 

Currently guest is seeing broken thread/core siblings topology because some of cupid bits are getting blocked by default.

 

With the attached 2 patches hvm guest will see same topology as the host-os sees.

 

It is still possible to override these bits in the guest config file, so that migration across different topology system can work.

 

Please apply.

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

Nitin
