SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/2] x86/CPU/AMD: Present package as die instead of socket

Ok, it seems we will continue talking past each other here. So let's
look at the issues separately:

* irqbalance fails to allocating IRQs to individual CPU within the die.

Why does it fail? What is the root cause for this?

* The scheduler fails to load-balance across 8 threads within a die
(e.g. running 8-thread application w/ taskset -c 0-7 ) with
the DIE schedule domain omitted due to x86_has_numa_in_package.

Why do you need to load-balance within the die? Why not load-balance
within the 0-15 threads?

What are the disadvantages of the situation now?
