Does WSL2 plan to support dual CPUs?

[hyjforesight]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
WSL2 doesn't support dual/multiple sockets of CPUs. Change settings by .wslconfig doesn't work. This issue persists and remain unsolved. See below:
#4137
#3314
#5423
#5472

Describe the solution you'd like
LET WSL2 SUPPORT DUAL SOCKETS OF CPUS. PLZ!

Describe alternatives you've considered
Give up Windows and use Ubuntu. This is definitely not what we Windows fans look forward to.

Additional context
AGAIN, LET WSL2 SUPPORT DUAL SOCKETS OF CPUS. PLZ!

I am also expecting this. Even if it uses dual CPU, WSL does not currently support more than 64 processors. But even using dual CPUs would be a good development. Half of the server's resources are wasted right now. 1 CPU is working and the other is idle.

This is a duplicate of #1115.

@muratyurdakul75 There is a workaround for more than 64 cores, which is a separate issue. @xieyubo has a solution and I have pre-built patched .dll's for both amd64 and arm64 you can grab on my fork.

Thanks! FYI I've sorted out a fix for this which should be coming soon.

@sirredbeard and @xieyubo - after the fix goes live would you mind making a note in your project / fork that the workaround is no longer needed?

Hi @benhillis and @sirredbeard , thank you for making this workaround. BTW, is there any plan for supporting dual CPUs?
