The legacy topology enumerated by CPUID.1.EBX[23:16] is defined in SDM
Vol2:
Bits 23-16: Maximum number of addressable IDs for logical processors in
this physical package.
When launching the VM with -smp 256, the value written to EBX[23:16] is
0 because of data overflow. If the guest only supports legacy topology,
without V2 Extended Topology enumerated by CPUID.0x1f or Extended
Topology enumerated by CPUID.0x0b to support over 255 CPUs, the return
of the kernel invoking cpu_smt_allowed() is false and AP's bring-up will
fail. Then only CPU 0 is online, and others are offline.
To avoid this issue caused by overflow, limit the max value written to
EBX[23:16] to 255.
