Ah, okay, so it has multiple nodes but not NUMA.  The generic numa
topology code assumes that there's only one node if !NUMA and reports
all online cpus regardless of the node number, which makes the same
CPUs to be reported for all nodes on the system.  I think something
like the following (completely untested) should work.

Thanks.
