Why needs this to be global? cpu_smt_control is pointlessly global already.

Taking Laurents findings into account this should be something like
the incomplete below.

x86 would simply invoke cpu_smt_set_num_threads() with both arguments as
smp_num_siblings while PPC can funnel its command line parameter through
the num_threads argument.
