In the case of 4 HT capable CPU's it could be reported like

Seems like a good idea... people frequently get caught by this
discrepancy in numbers to reporting the number of physical and virtual

is determined so someone familiar with the ACPI magic would have to
comment of whether or not this is reasonable :)
