If it is merely looking at the current CPU <topology> then I see
no reason why we can't make enough information available in the
NUMA <topology> to let it do the right thing on all systems.
We definitely can. I'm not against it, I just think it's a pretty heavy
hammer for the problem. But as long as it provides reasonable data I
don't care.
The thing I care about is providing reasonable data so that the AMD
Bulldozer CPU can be detected in either way depending on the choice of
the management app.
