[PATCH 1/3] MIPS: Rework smt cmdline parameters

From: Jiaxun Yang
Date: Sun May 21 2023 - 18:33:01 EST


Provide a generic smt parameters interface aligned with s390
to allow users to limit smt usage and threads per core.

It replaced previous undocumented "nothreads" parameter for
smp-cps which is ambiguous and does not cover smp-mt.
