Good catch, thanks for the patch.  Comments below:

I'm not sure we want a compatibility flag to keep ABI on older
machine types, here.  Strictly speaking, CPUID must never change
on older machine types, but sometimes trying hard to emulate bugs
of old QEMU versions is a pointless exercise.

This won't work if nr_cores > 1 and nr_threads is not a power of
2, will it?

For reference, the field is documented[1] as:

"The number of bits in the initial Core::X86::Apic::ApicId[ApicId]
value that indicate thread ID within a package"

This sounds like the value already stored at
CPUX86State::pkg_offset.

Bits 7:0 are documented as "The number of threads in the package
is NC+1", with no reference to APIC IDs at all.

Using ((nr_cores * nr_threads) - 1) for bits 7:0 sounds correct,
but the variable name seems misleading.
