[hangaohuai <hangaohuai@huawei.com>]

Dear all:
I try to boot windows2012R2 (more than 64 cores)on kvm platform with hyper-v on*<relaxed state='on'/>*.
the guest halts on the starting time.
Also tested in these cases:
<topology sockets='64' cores='1' threads='1'/>  - boot sucess
<topology sockets='1' cores='64' threads='1'/>  - boot sucess
<topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='64'/>  - boot sucess
<topology sockets='1' cores='68' threads='1'/>  - boot failed
<topology sockets='68' cores='1' threads='1'/>  - boot sucess(in Guest we can found 64)
<topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='68'/>  - boot failed

  windows2012R2
