From: Zhao Liu <zhao1....@intel.com>Hi all, To make review easier, I've merged my previous single SMP patch [1] and SMP test series [2] into this series as well. So this series includes: * [Patch 1] Remove deprecated "parameter=0" SMP configurations, which is marked as deprecated in v6.2. * [Patch 2] Deprecate unsupported "parameter=1" SMP configurations. * [Patch 3 & 4] Minor code cleanup for machine_parse_smp_config(). * [Patch 5 ~ 14] Test case enhancements to cover more SMP API changes.

In a previous community call, Zhao asked us how his work will scale in the heterogeneous context. My first idea is CPUs must belong to a cluster. For machines without explicit cluster, we could always create the first one. Then -smp would become a sugar property of the first cluster. Next -smp could also be sugar property of the next cluster. Regards, Phil.
