So, there is a lot simpler fix for this, and its to remove the numa mask
dependency from the scheduler domain building. That is just a couple
line fix, and it reverts !ACPI to its original behavior, while the ACPI
LLC building will work around the NUMA in package issue that caused
patch 12/12 as the machine in question doesn't have a LLC crossing numa
domains.
