yes non-cluster means machine has no cluster topology. The PPTT is generated by the
qemu according to the cmdline so I didn't really check it. See the demo provided in
the commit.

'-smp 48,sockets=2,cores=12,threads=2' builds a mahine with 2 sockets, one socket has
12 cores and each core has 2 threads. If we want to have a cluster machine we build it
with '-smp 48,sockets=2,clusters=6,cores=2,threads=2', then we'll have 6 clusters in
one socket and 2 cores in each cluster, 2 threads for each core.

Thanks.
