*blink*...

That's, shall we say, unexpected. Let me ponder that a bit. HPA any clue
why a machine might report such a weird topology? AFAIK threads _always_
share cache.  So how can cpu_coregroup_mask be a subset (instead of a
superset) of topology_thread_cpumask?

Let me go stare at the x86 topology mask setup code.
