it would be really nice to propagate this info to where it _really_ 
matters: the sched-domains topology info - unless i'm missing 
something this patch-set does not do that yet, right? That way we'll 
get actual feedback if it's broken, and will help people if it works 
right. Device allocation matters too, but to a much lesser degree.
