We have 5 harts on the board that this matches, so I figured that'd be the
better default.


Per my understanding mc->default_cpus is used when invoking QEMU
without passing '-smp n' (that's what 'make check' uses), and with the
updated sifive_u machine, '-smp 2' is the actual useful configuration
to boot Linux. For consistency with user experience on other machines,
without '-smp' means we want a uni-processor machine hence I would
suggest we set "mc->default_cpus = mc->min_cpus".

OK, I've spun a v3. I never sent out v2 but I had tagged it, unless there's any opposition I'll send this out when I'm back on normal internet.
