Problem:
Users with AMD CPUs who have SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) enabled are currently unable to passthrough their CPUs with SMT cores to guest VMs. This is because, by default, SMT support is disabled in libvirtd and requires specific features to be enabled.
Solution:
Add a new field in the VMs configuration that allows users to enable SMT passthrough for their CPUs. When this field is enabled, the relevant features will be added to the CPU XML configuration, ensuring that SMT-enabled CPUs can be properly passed through to the guest if host passthrough is also enabled.
