Add the Processor Properties Topology Table (PPTT) to expose
CPU topology information defined by users to ACPI guests.

Note, a DT-boot Linux guest with a non-flat CPU topology will
see socket and core IDs being sequential integers starting
from zero, which is different from ACPI-boot Linux guest,
e.g. with -smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1

a DT boot produces:

  cpu:  0 package_id:  0 core_id:  0
  cpu:  1 package_id:  0 core_id:  1
  cpu:  2 package_id:  1 core_id:  0
  cpu:  3 package_id:  1 core_id:  1

an ACPI boot produces:

  cpu:  0 package_id: 36 core_id:  0
  cpu:  1 package_id: 36 core_id:  1
  cpu:  2 package_id: 96 core_id:  2
  cpu:  3 package_id: 96 core_id:  3

This is due to several reasons:

  1) DT cpu nodes do not have an equivalent field to what the PPTT
     ACPI Processor ID must be, i.e. something equal to the MADT CPU
     UID or equal to the UID of an ACPI processor container. In both
     ACPI cases those are platform dependant IDs assigned by the
     vendor.

  2) While QEMU is the vendor for a guest, if the topology specifies
     SMT (> 1 thread), then, with ACPI, it is impossible to assign a
     core-id the same value as a package-id, thus it is not possible
     to have package-id=0 and core-id=0. This is because package and
     core containers must be in the same ACPI namespace and therefore
     must have unique UIDs.

  3) ACPI processor containers are not mandatorily required for PPTT
     tables to be used and, due to the limitations of which IDs are
     selected described above in (2), they are not helpful for QEMU,
     so we don't build them with this patch. In the absence of them,
     Linux assigns its own unique IDs. The maintainers have chosen not
     to use counters from zero, but rather ACPI table offsets, which
     explains why the numbers are so much larger than with DT.

  4) When there is no SMT (threads=1) the core IDs for ACPI boot guests
     match the logical CPU IDs, because these IDs must be equal to the
     MADT CPU UID (as no processor containers are present), and QEMU
     uses the logical CPU ID for these MADT IDs.

So in summary, with QEMU as vender for guest, we use sequential integers
starting from zero for non-leaf nodes without valid ID flag, so that the
guest will ignore them and use table offsets as the unique IDs. And we
also use logical CPU IDs for leaf nodes to be consistent with MADT.

Why aren't we adding build_pptt to aml-build.c, like my original patch
does? I don't see anything Arm specific below, at least not if you passed
MachineState instead of VirtMachineState, like my original patch did.
I agree to move build_pptt to common code, so that other platforms
can also use it if they want. I will do it in next version.

BTW, it seems patch 1 and 5 were possibly missed for some review.
Any comments for them too? Thanks!

We can't have threads < 1, so this condition should be == 1.
Right, I will fix it.
