topoext feature cannot be supported in certain cases
with large number of cores or threads. Add the check.

See error.h documentation:
* Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
*
* Create an error:
* error_setg(&err, "situation normal, all fouled up");
*
* Create an error and add additional explanation:
* error_setg(&err, "invalid quark");
* error_append_hint(&err, "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, "
* "charm, top, bottom.\n");
*
* Do *not* contract this to
* error_setg(&err, "invalid quark\n"
* "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom.");
*
I suggest something like this:
static bool topology_supports_topoext(int nr_cores, int nr_threads, Error **errp)
{
if (nr_cores > (MAX_CORES_IN_NODE * MAX_NODES_PER_SOCKET))) {
error_setg(errp, "TOPOEXT unsupported with %d cores per socket", nr_cores);
error_append_hint(errp, "TOPOEXT supports only up to %d cores per socket",
(MAX_CORES_IN_NODE * MAX_NODES_PER_SOCKET));
return false;
}
if (nr_threads > 2) {
error_setg(errp, "TOPOEXT unsupported with %d threads per core", nr_threads);
error_append_hint(errp, "TOPOEXT supports only up to 2 threads per core");
(MAX_CORES_IN_NODE * MAX_NODES_PER_SOCKET));
return false;
}
return true;
}
static void x86_cpu_realizefn(DeviceState *dev, Error **errp)
{
/* ... */
if (IS_AMD_CPU(env) &&
(env->features[FEAT_8000_0001_ECX] & CPUID_EXT3_TOPOEXT) &&
!topology_supports_topoext(cs->nr_cores, cs->nr_threads, errp)) {
return;
}
/* ... */
}

Thanks. Note that I have made a mistake below, by not including
a newline in error_append_hint().
Also, I'm not sure if it's better to mention the current value of
nr_cores in error_setg() or just in the error hint. Markus, do
you have any suggestion?
