tests: bios-tables-test: Add test for smbios type4 thread count
This tests the commit 7298fd7 ("hw/smbios: Fix thread count in type4"). In smbios_build_type_4_table() (hw/smbios/smbios.c), if the number of threads in the socket is not more than 255, then smbios type4 table encodes threads per socket into the thread count field. So for the topology in this case, there're the following considerations: 1. threads per socket should be not more than 255 to ensure we could cover the thread count field. 2. The original bug was that threads per socket was miscalculated, so now we should configure as many topology levels as possible (mutiple sockets & dies, no module since x86 hasn't supported it) to cover more general topology scenarios, to ensure that the threads per socket encoded in the thread count field is correct. 3. For the more general topology, we should also add "cpus" (presented threads for machine) and "maxcpus" (total threads for machine) to make sure that configuring unpluged CPUs in smp (cpus < maxcpus) does not affect the correctness of threads per socket for thread count field. Based on these considerations, select the topology as the follow: -smp cpus=15,maxcpus=54,sockets=2,dies=3,cores=3,threads=3 The expected thread count = threads per socket = threads (3) * cores (3) * dies (3) = 27.
