target-i386: prevent users from setting threads>1 for AMD CPUs
PATCH 1/1 target-i386: prevent users from setting threads>1 for AMD CPUs
AMD CPU doesn't support hyperthreading. Even though QEMU fixes this issue by setting CPUID_0000_0001_EBX and CPUID_8000_0008_ECX via conversion, it is better to stop end-users in the first place with a warning message.
