[vfio-users] Distinguishing Logical and HT Cores, Cpu-latencies Script Results

The output of lstopo shows that 0-6, 1-7, etc... are paired, which is what
I originally assumed (as a 4790k is 0-4, 1-5, with similar architecture so
I'd assume similar), but different from the virsh capabilities output
(which did not list siblings correctly for me)

So with all of that said, is it safe to say the pairings are 0-6, 1-7, 2-8,
3-9, 4-10, 5-11 for a 5930k?
Just want to make sure.
Thanks!
