Eduardo, We need to generalize the encode_topo_cpuid8000001e decoding. We will have to remove 3 bit limitation there. It will not scale with latest configurations. I will take a look that. For now, best option I think is to(like you mentioned in bug 1834200), declaring nr_cores > 256 as never supported (or deprecated); and throw warning.
