(Whoops, forgot to copy this in properly: XXXX was 'kconfig' and YYYY
was 'extra_qemu_params'.)

The x86_64-smp.py file ends up looking like this:
---8<---
from ..qemu_config import QemuArchParams

QEMU_ARCH = QemuArchParams(linux_arch='x86_64',
                          kconfig='''
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SMP=y
                          ''',
                          qemu_arch='x86_64',
                          kernel_path='arch/x86/boot/bzImage',
                          kernel_command_line='console=ttyS0',
                          extra_qemu_params=['-smp 16'])

Ah: it might be worth adding a dedicated kcsan .kunitconfig, in which
case this would be helpful. It'd also need the SMP qemu config above
before it's particularly useful, and 16 was a randomly-picked number
of CPUs -- not sure if there's a better default.

If you're likely to use it, though, we can definitely add it in. I'm
sure there'll eventually be other uses for an SMP config under
kunit_tool, too.
