There's nothing in this part of the code that makes it specific
to the EPYC CPU model, so it has to be more generic. But
probably my suggestion wasn't correct either. Se my question

I'm confused. What would be the correct value for
Fn8000_001D_EAX_x[25:14] for a 8-core 2-threads-per-core CPU?

I assumed the L3 cache would be shared by the whole socket, but
it's shared only by a core complex (which has 4 cores in EPYC).
Is that right?

So, what would be a reasonable value for Fn8000_001D_EAX_3[25:14]
for the following configurations?

-cpu EPYC,cores=2,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=2,threads=2
-cpu EPYC,cores=3,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=3,threads=2
-cpu EPYC,cores=4,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=4,threads=2
-cpu EPYC,cores=5,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=5,threads=2
-cpu EPYC,cores=6,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=6,threads=2
-cpu EPYC,cores=7,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=7,threads=2
-cpu EPYC,cores=8,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=8,threads=2
-cpu EPYC,cores=9,threads=1
-cpu EPYC,cores=9,threads=2
