Commit 0544edd88a "vl: smp_parse: cleanups" regressed any -smp
config that left either cores or threads unspecified, and specified
a topology supporting more cpus than the given online cpus. The
correct way to calculate the missing parameter would be to use
maxcpus, but it's too late to change that now. Restore the old
way, which is to calculate it with the online cpus (as is still
done), but then, if the result is zero, just set it to one.

The isa_bus_irqs function initializes ISA bus IRQ array pointer with specified
value.
Previously the ICH9 LPC bridge model did not have its own IRQs but
only IRQ pointer cache. And same GSI were used for ISA bus and other sources
behind the bridge (PCI, SCI). Hence, the pc_q35_init was only possible place to
setup both ISA bus IRQs and the bridge IRQ cache.
As a result, the call of isa_bus_irqs was made from pc_q35_init.
Now the ICH9 LPC bridge has its own output IRQs which are connected to GSI. The
output IRQs are already used to route IRQs from PCI and SCI.
The patch makes the ICH9 LPC bridge output IRQs to used for ISA bus too.

In get_page_addr_code(), if the guest program counter turns out not to
be in ROM or RAM, we can't handle executing from it, and we call
cpu_abort(). This results in the message
qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x08000000
followed by a guest register dump, and then QEMU dumps core.
This situation happens in one of two cases:
(1) a guest kernel bug, where it jumped off into nowhere
(2) a user command line mistake, where they tried to run an image for
board A on a QEMU model of board B, or where they didn't provide
an image at all, and QEMU executed through a ROM or RAM full of
NOP instructions and then fell off the end
In either case, a core dump of QEMU itself is entirely useless, and
only confuses users into thinking that this is a bug in QEMU rather
than a bug in the guest or a problem with their command line. (This
is a variation on the general idea that we shouldn't assert() on
something the user can accidentally provoke.)
Replace the cpu_abort() with something that explains the situation
a bit better and exits QEMU without dumping core.
(See LP:1062220 for several examples of confused users.)
