[Kimchi-devel] UI Mockup of SMT

[Yu Xin Huo]

1. Making it a combobox is not for the purpose to simplify coding, it is 
for visual balance, for current kimchi UI style, you can imagine how a 
checkbox looks there.
2. Please clarify below

http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/kimchi-devel/2014-November/008660.html

---- For below, do you mean that I should always display SMT1, SMT2, 
SMT4 for the first 3, and for the last one, it will be 
SMT[threads_per_core]? I wonder why only 4 options.

	  Display a menu labled SMT, with up to four check-boxes.
           The check-boxes will be labeled SMT1, SMT2, SMT4, and SMT8.
           The max SMT value displayed will be dependant upon
           threads_per_core from above. The default checkbox should be the
           greatest SMT value (e.g. SMT8).

---- For below, seems like you mean the CPUs should be limited to a 
certain set of numbers, where to get this set of numbers.

	  Display the same box for CPUs as before. I had initially thought
           about having a drop-down for CPUs instead of the empty field,
           (with only legal vCPU amounts, like 1,2,4,8, etc.)

---- For below

curl -k -u user -X POST -H 'Content-Typ: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  https://localhost:8001/templates  -d'{"name": "test_topo", "cdrom": "/isos/DVD_name.iso", \
  "cpus":4, "cpu_info": {"topology": {"sockets": 1, "cores": 2, "threads":2}}}'


This is the content when create template, what content should be added 
for 'SMT' or 'Hyper-threading' when saving a template.
