spapr: ensure we have at least one XICS server
XICS needs to know the upper value for cpu_index as it is used to compute the number of servers: smp_cpus * kvmppc_smt_threads() / smp_threads When passing -smp cpus=1,threads=9 on a POWER8 host, we end up with: 1 * 8 / 9 = 0 ... which leads to an assertion in both emulated: Number of servers needs to be greater 0 Aborted (core dumped) ... and in-kernel XICS: xics_kvm_realize: Assertion `icp->nr_servers' failed. Aborted (core dumped) With this patch, we are sure that nr_servers > 0. Passing the same bogus -smp option then leads to: qemu-system-ppc64: Cannot support more than 8 threads on PPC with KVM ... which is a lot more explicit than the XICS errors.
