In real world silicon though it is rare to have high socket/die counts,
but common to have huge core counts.
Some OS will even refuse to use sockets over a certain count.
Thus we prefer to expose cores to the guest rather than sockets as the
default for missing fields.
This matches a recent change made in QEMU for new machine types
