It turns out I just forgot that I had KASLR on. snc_ways was in fact 2.

The real problem was my test program was assuming that the absence of
the snc_ways file meant no SNC, so it was using cache IDs instead of
node IDs when choosing a mon_data subdirectory to read results from.

With that fixed, the results look good:

cpu: 155 (1), rmid: 3 (g2): 0 -> 33489125376 (33489125376)
cpu: 40 (1), rmid: 16 (g15): 0 -> 27142750208 (27142750208)
cpu: 69 (2), rmid: 156 (g154): 0 -> 29294411776 (29294411776)
cpu: 121 (0), rmid: 63 (g62): 0 -> 30636777472 (30636777472)
cpu: 171 (2), rmid: 93 (g92): 0 -> 26103046144 (26103046144)

(and it turns out I never needed to manually look up the node IDs,
because the test output would have already told me, had the test been
working correctly)

Sorry for the extra trouble. The series works well for me.
