As the topology is evaluated from CPU0 CPUID leaf 0x1f it's obvious that
CPU4...11 will trigger the sanity checks because their CPUID leaf 0x1f
subleaf 1 entries are bogus.
IOW it's a firmware bug and there is nothing the kernel will and can do
about it except what it does already: complaining about the inconsistency.
Thanks for providing all the information!
