Does this make your machine boot again (while giving an error)?

It tries to robustify the topology setup a bit, crashing on crap input
should be avoided if possible of course.

I'll go stare at the x86/P4 topology code like promised.

We hard assume that higher topology levels are strict supersets of
lower levels.

Detect, warn and try to fixup when we encounter this violated.
