+Specified CPU topology parameters must be supported by the machine.

+In the SMP configuration, users should provide the CPU topology parameters that
+are supported by the target machine.

+However, historically it was allowed for users to specify the unsupported
+topology parameter as "1", which is meaningless. So support for this kind of
+configurations (e.g. -smp drawers=1,books=1,clusters=1 for x86 PC machine) is
+marked deprecated since 9.0, users have to ensure that all the topology members
+described with -smp are supported by the target machine.
