I'm fine with gleaning the vcpu count from the topology if it's passed
in without vcpus.

The second option of one but not both would cause us to deviate from
libvirt for users of the REST APIs.

I'll update the patch with your first suggestion.

Aline's comment on my v1 patch is why I added this else. She said we
should always return the same info. This was the only way that I could
think of that will work. You can read my questions in the patch v1
thread regarding this if you want more info.

ACK. I'll only check this condition *if* both the items are passed in
(vcpus, and topology).

Oops. I had them as strings before and changed it. I can take this out.
