Ah indeed. My Core2Quad didn't have an L3 afaik (its sitting around
without a PSU atm so checking gets a little hard) so the LLC level was
the L2 and all worked out right (it also not having SMT helped of
course).
But if there was a Xeon chip that did add a package L3 then yes, all
this would become more interesting still. We'd need to extend the
scheduler topology a bit as well, I don't think it can currently handle
this well.
So I guess we get to do some work for steamroller.
