Rather than making a fake cluster_cpus and cluster_cpus_list which
will expose to userspace
through /sys/devices/cpus/cpux/topology, could we just fix the
sched_domain mask by the
below?
It will be odd to users that a cpu has BAD cluster_id but has
"meaningful" cluster_cpus and
cluster_cpus_list in sys.
