--- Comment #2 from Lexi Winter <ivy@FreeBSD.org> ---
would this also affect the Xeon E-2468?  i have such a system where
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=0, and with bhyve -c8, VMs still detect 2
hardware threads.  i've tried various combinations of explicit CPU-topology
configuration in bhyve and couldn't find a way to fix it.
