I still can't reproduce the issue, but there are some difference
according to my default sd topology:

WYT: sbm of cpu 0
WYT: 	 exec map
WYT: 		 sd f051be80, idx 0, level 0, weight 4
WYT: 		 sd f08b3700, idx 1, level 1, weight 32
WYT: 		 sd f08b3700, idx 2, level 1, weight 32
WYT: 	 fork map
WYT: 		 sd f051be80, idx 0, level 0, weight 4
WYT: 		 sd f08b3700, idx 1, level 1, weight 32
WYT: 		 sd f08b3700, idx 2, level 1, weight 32
WYT: 	 wake map
WYT: 		 sd f051be80, idx 0, level 0, weight 4
WYT: 		 sd f08b3700, idx 1, level 1, weight 32
WYT: 		 sd f08b6300, idx 2, level 2, weight 64
WYT: 	 affine map
WYT: 		 affine with cpu 0 in sd f051be80, weight 4
WYT: 		 affine with cpu 1 in sd f051be80, weight 4
WYT: 		 affine with cpu 2 in sd f051be80, weight 4
WYT: 		 affine with cpu 3 in sd f051be80, weight 4
		...

And there are only sibling, cpu and numa level, no mc level while your
box have, but that looks harmless to me... isn't it?

This is the aim 7 results of the patched kernel, it's just fine.
