Yeah, so there was some confusion what this field actually means. It is
documented correctly in the latest APM:

"NT: number of physical threads - 1. The number of threads in the
processor is NT+1 (e.g., if NT = 0, then there is one thread). See
“Legacy Method” on page 645."

So yeah, this should be TOPO_SMT_DOMAIN.

Thx.
