Thanks to your QEMU wizardry, I've also tested this on a few funky
topologies such as:

  DIE [                     ]
  MC  [       ][            ]
       0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7
       L  L  M  L  L  M  B  B

and

  DIE [                ]
  MC  [          ][    ]
       0  1  2  3  4  5
       L  L  M  M  B  B

+ some hotplug ops, and the resulting SD_ flags all made sense to me.
