The device tree presented to pseries machine type guests includes an
ibm,chip-id property which gives essentially the socket number of each
vcpu core (individual vcpu threads don't get a node in the device
tree).

To calculate this, it uses a vcpus_per_socket variable computed as
(smp_cpus / #sockets).  This is correct for the usual case where
smp_cpus == smp_threads * smp_cores * #sockets.

However, you can start QEMU with the number of cores and threads
mismatching the total number of vcpus (whether that _should_ be
permitted is a topic for another day).  It's a bit hard to say what
the "real" number of vcpus per socket here is, but for most purposes
(smp_threads * smp_cores) will more meaningfully match how QEMU
behaves with respect to socket boundaries.

Gah, sorry, there's a compile error in this.  I got sidetracked
between writing and posting and forgot I hadn't fixed it yet.

The error, I believe, is "opts" not being used anymore?
If so,
