So, because of the stalled discussion on patch 2 of this series, this
patch was hardly considered, I guess, is that so?

Personally, I think this is an improvement in its own right, and I'd
like to have it, independently from the CPUID stuff. Are you up,
perhaps, for submitting it as a separate patch?

One thing I'm not sure is why you're introducing new *_bounced variants,
rather than going ahead and modifying xc_topologyinfo() and
xc_numainfo()  directly. libxc is not an API we committed to keep
stable, is it?

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
