Ok, so next question, what is a brickland? I suspect its a machine of
sorts, seeing how some others had wsm in that part of the test. Now I
know what a westmere is, but I've never heard of a brickland.

Please describe the machine, this is a topology patch, so we need to
know the topology of the affected machines.
