Allow user to configure l1d, l1i, l2 and l3 cache topologies for PC
machine.
Additionally, add the document of "-machine smp-cache" in
qemu-options.hx.

+ Define cache properties for SMP system.
+
+ ``cache=cachename`` specifies the cache that the properties will be
+ applied on. This field is the combination of cache level and cache
+ type. It supports ``l1d`` (L1 data cache), ``l1i`` (L1 instruction
+ cache), ``l2`` (L2 unified cache) and ``l3`` (L3 unified cache).
+
+ ``topology=topologylevel`` sets the cache topology level. It accepts
+ CPU topology levels including ``thread``, ``core``, ``module``,
+ ``cluster``, ``die``, ``socket``, ``book``, ``drawer`` and a special
+ value ``default``. If ``default`` is set, then the cache topology will
+ follow the architecture's default cache topology model. If another
+ topology level is set, the cache will be shared at corresponding CPU
+ topology level. For example, ``topology=core`` makes the cache shared
+ by all threads within a core. The omitting cache will default to using
+ the ``default`` level.
+
+ The default cache topology model for an i386 PC machine is as follows:
+ ``l1d``, ``l1i``, and ``l2`` caches are per ``core``, while the ``l3``
+ cache is per ``die``.
+
+ Example:
+
+ ::
+
+ -machine smp-cache.0.cache=l1d,smp-cache.0.topology=core,smp-cache.1.cache=l1i,smp-cache.1.topology=core
