Description of problem:
Boot RHEL-3.9-32 or RHEL-3.9-PAE guest on AMD host, sibling number in guest behaves different if with/without vendor.

Steps to Reproduce:
1./usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.1.0 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 2,cores=2,threads=1,socket=2 -cpu Opteron_G3,+pbe,-nx,vendor="abcd1234THIS" -name rhel3u9-PAE -uuid `uuidgen` -rtc base=localtime,clock=vm,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -boot c -drive file=/mnt/images/RHEL-3.9-32-virtio.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-0-0,media=disk,format=qcow2,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-0-0,id=virt0-0-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet1 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=52:54:40:81:11:53 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input1 -vnc :0 -monitor stdio -balloon none

2.
3.
  
Actual results:
WITH vendor specified:
grep "siblings" 
siblings	: 1
siblings	: 1

grep "physical id" | sort | uniq | wc -l
1
WITHOUT vendor specified:
grep "siblings" 
siblings	: 2
siblings	: 2
grep "physical id" | sort | uniq | wc -l
1

Expected results:
1. number of siblings should be 2
2. cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "physical id" | sort | uniq | wc -l  should output 2

The vendor string should be specific like GenuineIntel or AutheticAMD and not something you invented.

Hi Dor,
 I boot the guest without specifying the vendor id, seems the siblings value is still not right. If any wrong, please correct me. Thanks.

CLI:
 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.1.0 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 2,cores=4,threads=1,socket=2 -cpu Opteron_G3,-x2apic,+svm -name rhel4.9 ...-boot c -drive file=/mnt/images/RHEL-4.9-32-virtio.qcow2...

Dor,
 Boot rhel3.9-32 guest with same cli except the vm image, cat /proc/cpuinfo outputs the correct siblings & cpu cores number in guest.

Seems "physical id" is wrong,  too.
