Do you plan to fix the remaining code using smp_cpus? e.g.:
1) x86_cpu_realizefn():
if (cpu->env.features[FEAT_1_EDX] & CPUID_APIC || smp_cpus > 1) {
x86_cpu_apic_create(cpu, &local_err);
[...]
(Maybe we should simply make realizefn fail if we try to create a second CPU
using -device or device_add without CPUID_APIC)
2) the smp_cpus checks at hw/i386/kvmvapic.c.

Any specific reason you chose to check possible_cpus instead of the
arch-independent CPU list from exec.c? I believe other architectures will be
interested in a generic way to count online CPUs instead of using smp_cpus.
