Subject:   Logical CPUs cannot be disabled via W3520

    Someone on the forums [1] noticed that machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
was unavailable on their system, and I did some poking around and
noticed that it was as well. Should SMT logical CPUs be disable(-able)
via machdep.hlt_logical_cpus as well or is it just classic HTT based
chips?
Thanks,
