Support for setting VSMT is available in KVM since linux-4.13. Most distros
that support KVM on POWER already have it. It thus seem reasonable enough
to have the default machine to set VSMT to smp_threads.

This brings contiguous VCPU ids and thus brings their upper bound down to
the machine's max_cpus. This is especially useful for XIVE KVM devices,
which may thus allocate only one VP descriptor per VCPU.

Applied to ppc-for-4.2, thanks.

Just to clarify that without the other patches in this series, XIVE
KVM devices still allocate a fixed block of 2048 VPs, no matter what.
ie, the last sentence in the changelog may be slightly misleading.
