It's unclear to me why you need this special case versus
just using the normal NUMA distances to represent the internal
nodes as "nearby nodes" versus sockets as "farer away".

Essentially it should be just two level NUMA which can be already
described fine for the scheduler or VM using the existing SRAT
mechanism.

Who needs this additional information?
