This is correct if there's single thread per core, but is wrong for the hyper threading case (one core contains multiple threads) since the i-cache and d-cache are shared in the core level other than SMT level. For AMD CPU, commit 8f4202fb1080 ("i386: Populate AMD Processor Cache Information for cpuid 0x8000001D") has already introduced i/d cache topology as core level by default. Therefore, in order to be compatible with both multi-threaded and single-threaded situations, we should set i-cache and d-cache be shared at the core level by default. This fix changes the default i/d cache topology from per-thread to per-core. Potentially, this change in L1 cache topology may affect the performance of the VM if the user does not specifically specify the topology or bind the vCPU. However, the way to achieve optimal performance should be to create a reasonable topology and set the appropriate vCPU affinity without relying on QEMU's default topology structure.

Tsirkin --- Changes since v3: * Change the description of current i/d cache encoding status to avoid misleading to "architectural rules". (Xiaoyao) Changes since v1: * Split this fix from the patch named "i386/cpu: Fix number of addressable IDs in CPUID.04H". * Add the explanation of the impact on performance.
