Some guests (Windows comes to mind) have license restrictions and refuse
to run on multi-socket machines.
So lets introduce a "cores=" parameter to the -cpu option to let the user
specify the number of _cores_ the guest should see.
Sounds like this should be part of the -numa option.
Sound reasonable on the first glance, but would make it rather
complicated in real life. I suppose multi-core is far more interesting
to most of the people than multi-node, so I would opt for the easier:
-smp 2,cores=2 to specify a dual core guest.
