I should have mentioned that first two patches fix topology information
provided in /sys/devices/cpu/cpuX/topology (core_sibling information).

I think, the internal node information should also be exposed
there. E.g. introducing cpu_node_siblings and cpu_node_sibling_list.

But that affects other architectures (the code in
drivers/base/topology is not x86-specific) and probably needs some
more discussion. Patches to address this will follow.

Andreas
