[PATCH 0/2] qemu-options: Trivial doc fixes related to -smp

[Yanan Wang]

There are two places found related to -smp that may need to be fixed
when reading qemu-options.hx. And after searching other Doc files,
there hasn't been any other similar issues.

Yanan Wang (2):
  qemu-options: Tweak [,maxcpus=cpus] to [,maxcpus=maxcpus]
  qemu-options: Add missing "sockets=2" to CLI "-smp 2"

[PATCH 1/2] qemu-options: Tweak [, maxcpus=cpus] to [, maxcpus=maxcpus]

[Yanan Wang]

In qemu-option.hx, there is "-smp [[cpus=]n][,maxcpus=cpus]..." in the
DEF part, and "-smp [[cpus=]n][,maxcpus=maxcpus]..." in the RST part.
Obviously the later is right, let's fix the previous one.

[PATCH 2/2] qemu-options: Add missing "sockets=2" to CLI "-smp 2"

[Yanan Wang]

There is one example of -smp CLI in qemu-options.hx currently
using "-smp 2" and assuming that there will be 2 sockets.
However now the actually calculation logic of missing sockets
and cores is not immutable, we should use more explicit CLIs
like "-smp 2,sockets=2" if we want multiple sockets.

Is the addition of "maxcpus=2" intentional?

Yes, but it's not necessary IMO. I just wanted to keep consistency
with other numa config examples in the Doc. Should I remove it ?

I think it makes sense to be explicit, because the numa config
works in terms of maxcpus when splitting cpus between nodes

The statement of this numa config example actually assume that
there will be 2 cpus totally. Although based on behavior of the
smp parser we will get maxcpus=2, I also tend to keep it explicitly.

But I should update subject of this patch and the commit message.
