Actually, query-cpus[-fast] is not reporting the topology (socket, core,
thread). The reported thread id is referring to the QEMU CPU thread.

Agreed, this one escaped me. Will change.

FWIW, I intended to make the patches deprecation-safe, i.e. prevent
calling query-cpus on a QEMU not supporting it anymore. I see your point
though and would have no principal objections to merging patches 2 and 4
(plus the testcase patches 3 and 5). Would be great to hear more opinions...

Halted was reported at least for x86, and a value of true was rather
common ony multi-core systems. However, defaulting to false doesn't hurt
(beyond the temporary impact on s390), because the user visible halted
value is a tristate for a while now.
