Subject: [PATCH 0/1] sched/topology: NUMA distance deduplication 

Hi folks,

As pointed out by Barry in [1], there are topologies out there that struggle to
go through the NUMA distance deduplicating sort. Included patch is something
I wrote back when I started untangling this distance > 2 mess.

It's only been lightly tested on some array of QEMU-powered topologies I keep
around for this sort of things. I *think* this works out fine with the NODE
topology level, but I wouldn't be surprised if I (re)introduced an off-by-one
error in there. 

@Barry feel free to test / edit this as you see fit.

HTH.
