The problem I encountered here with the calculations is that HBM memory
ended up in a lower-tiered node which isn't what I wanted (at least when
that HBM is attached to a GPU say).

I suspect this is because the calculations are based on the CPU
point-of-view (access1) which still sees lower bandwidth to remote HBM
than local DRAM, even though the remote GPU has higher bandwidth access
to that memory. Perhaps we need to be considering access0 as well?
Ie. HBM directly attached to a generic initiator should be in a higher
tier regardless of CPU access characteristics?

That said I'm not entirely convinced the HMAT tables I'm testing against
are accurate/complete.
