Kai, 

I tried to simplify it and came up with code that looked like this:

	int lead_cpu, node;
	for_each_online_node(node) {
		lead_cpu = cpumask_first(cpumask_of_node(node));
		if (lead_cpu < nr_cpu_ids)
			cpumask_set_cpu(lead_cpu, mktme_cpumask_NEW);
	}
When I test it on an SNC (Sub Numa Cluster) system it gives me too many
CPU's. I get a CPU per Node (just like i asked for;) instead of per Socket.
It has 2 sockets and 4 NUMA nodes. 

I kind of remember this when I originally coded it, hence the bottoms up
approach using topology_physical_package_id()

Any ideas?

Alison
