This is exactly "the second method" above.

This is kind of similar issue as the one discussed here. That's why it's
better to disable HT in BIOS - to not show those 8 CPUs at all. But from
the OS level, we don't have other choice, and we prefer a secure
default - that's why we disable HT at Xen level, to provide safer option
regardless of what user has set in the BIOS.
PS Please don't top-post. And keep the mailing list in CC.
