We're split across two threads now, but i'll add this context

I'm basically asking whether there should be 12 nodes possible. It seems
like there should only be 4 nodes possible - 2 for sockets, 2 for host
bridges.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it should be the case that a given physical
address can only be hosted by 1 numa node (proximity domain).

So it *should* be the case that you either have 4 nodes possible or 10
nodes possible, not 12.  But I could be missing a piece of context.

You probably have an old version of acpidump here, you might need to get
a newer version that knows about the CEDT.

You'll also want to get all the Memory Affinity entries from srat.dsl

I agree something is broken, I'm not convinced what is broken.

This affects userland, we shouldn't thrash on this. Lets get it right.
