I'm not sure how the HW could support given the two
use a different system bus (Merced vs Mckinley).

Even if someone made a chipset that could supported it (NumaLink?)
they might ban such configurations to avoid getting
dragged to the lowest common denominator in performance
or have pay obscene amounts to test something few customers
will actually use.
