For arm64 and riscv architecture, the driver (/base/arch_topology.c) is
used to populate the CPU topology in the Linux guest. It's required that
the CPUs in one cluster can't span mutiple NUMA nodes. Otherwise, the Linux
scheduling domain can't be sorted out, as the following warning message
indicates. To avoid the unexpected confusion, this series attempts to
warn about such kind of irregular configurations.

Changelog
=========
v3:
   * Validate cluster-to-NUMA instead of socket-to-NUMA
     boundary                                                  (Gavin)
   * Move the switch from MachineState to MachineClass         (Philippe)
   * Warning instead of rejecting the irregular configuration  (Daniel)
   * Comments to mention cluster-to-NUMA is platform instead
     of architectural choice                                   (Drew)
   * Drop PATCH[v2 1/4] related to qtests/numa-test            (Gavin)
v2:
   * Fix socket-NUMA-node boundary issues in qtests/numa-test  (Gavin)
   * Add helper set_numa_socket_boundary() and validate the
     boundary in the generic path                              (Philippe)
