            Bug ID: 215077
           Summary: bhyve should allow per-guest configuration of CPU
                    socket/cores/threads
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: grehan at FreeBSD.org

Windows desktop releases are generally restricted to 1 or 2 CPU sockets.

bhyve by default will assign configured vCPUs to a socket. This has the effect
of Windows desktops only seeing 1/2 vCPUs instead of the configured numbers.

While there is a workaround available to configure the number of cores/socket,
or threads/core, this is a global setting and applies to all guests, whereas it
need only be a on a per-guest basis.

(see http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?b26b6124-7ac6-0408-3016-f5678ad144d0
for more details)

This bug will track the modification of bhyve to allow the setting of these
values on a per-guest basis.
