Yes, there are two sockets in this platform. 32 cores and 16 compute units.

Apology to bring a surprise. Our test machine didn't configure the
CONFIG_SMP just now because it was to reproduce another build issue
before...
So an incorrect "only one" core is detected, sorry. Please ignore previous
result. I will do more testing on other platforms.

Now I re-build system, please see the correct message:
