[RFC][PATCH 4/6] sched: eliminate "DIE" domain level when NUMA present

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The "DIE" topology level is currently defined like this:

static inline const struct cpumask *cpu_cpu_mask(int cpu)
{
        return cpumask_of_node(cpu_to_node(cpu));
}

But that makes very little sense on a NUMA system since
the lowest-domain NUMA node is guaranteed to be essentially
the same as this level.

We leave this for systems that are !CONFIG_NUMA and that
might need a top-level domain.

This also keeps us from having screwy topologies when the
smallest NUMA node is only _part_ of the die.
