A single socket/package, single core, single thread system
has 1 thread.  __max_smt_threads is not set to 1 since smp_callin() is never
called.  The minimum value of __max_smt_threads must be 1.

tglx, this is built on -tip.

Subject: [PATCH] arch/x86: Initialize __max_smt_threads to 1

A single socket, single core, single thread system has __max_smt_threads
set to 0 since smp_callin() is not called.

__max_smt_threads must be a minimum of 1.
