Oops, messed this one up, build error for user only builds.  Fixed
version below.

Subject: [PATCH] target-ppc: Give a meaningful error if too many threads are
 specified

Currently the target-ppc tcg code only supports a single thread.  You can
specify more, but they're treated identically to multiple cores.  On KVM
we obviously can't support more threads than the hardware; if more are
specified it will cause strange and cryptic errors.

This patch clarifies the situation by giving a simple meaningful error if
more threads are specified than we can support.

What if I am using TCG on PPC?

Then the stub version of kvmppc_smt_threads() returns 1, and since the
PPC TCG doesn't do any SMT emulation, that would seem to be correct...

int kvmppc_smt_threads(void)
{
    return cap_ppc_smt ? cap_ppc_smt : 1;
}

So because we don't call kvm_arch_init, the cap is 0 and thus we return 1? That's quite hard to follow :).

Please make this explicit. Only call kvmppc_smt_threads() when kvm_enabled().

No, if we aren't CONFIG_KVM then that source file and version of
the function aren't compiled at all. David means the stub
function, which is in kvm_ppc.h:
static inline int kvmppc_smt_threads(void)
{
    return 1;
}

(if you don't like stubs lurking in the header file you could
have a target-ppc/kvm-stub.c by analogy with the i386 one I suppose)

...and 5 seconds after sending that I realised what you actually
meant. ignore me :-)

And a bit later, so did I.  I'll revise.
