[RFC v2 2/7] hw/core: Define cache topology for machine

[Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Define the cache topology based on CPU topology level for two reasons:

1. In practice, a cache will always be bound to the CPU container
   (either private in the CPU container or shared among multiple
   containers), and CPU container is often expressed in terms of CPU
   topology level.
2. The x86's cache-related CPUIDs encode cache topology based on APIC
   ID's CPU topology layout. And the ACPI PPTT table that ARM/RISCV
   relies on also requires CPU containers to help indicate the private
   shared hierarchy of the cache. Therefore, for SMP systems, it is
   natural to use the CPU topology hierarchy directly in QEMU to define
   the cache topology.

Currently, separated L1 cache (L1 data cache and L1 instruction cache)
with unified higher-level cache (e.g., unified L2 and L3 caches), is the
most common cache architectures.

Therefore, define the topology for L1 D-cache, L1 I-cache, L2 cache and
L3 cache in machine as the basic cache topology support.
