+Specified CPU topology parameters must be greater than zero.
+
+In the SMP configuration, users should either provide a CPU topology
+parameter with a reasonable value (greater than zero) or just omit it
+and QEMU will compute the missing value.
+
+However, historically it was implicitly allowed for users to provide
+a parameter with zero value, which is meaningless and could also possibly
+cause unexpected results in the -smp parsing. So support for this kind of
+configurations (e.g. -smp 8,sockets=0) is removed since 9.0, users have
+to ensure that all the topology members described with -smp are greater
+than zero.
