Why not do this in update_top_cache_domain() where we also look for the
highest SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES and setup shortcut pointers?

Mmm so this is called once on every CPU, but the !*(maskp) check in the
macro makes it so there is only one allocation per sd_llc_shared.

I wouldn't mind having that called out in a comment, or having the
pointer check done explicitly outside of the macro.
