I'm aware of it going on, but haven't been following it.

nr_threads (and nr_cores) are already state in CPUState. This patch just
exposes that state via properties.

Every cpu, and thus every machine, uses CPUState for its cpus. I'm
not sure every machine will want to use that new abstract core class
though. If they did, then we could indeed use nr_threads from there
instead (and remove it from CPUState), but we'd still need nr_cores
from the abstract cpu package class (CPUState).
