Public bug reported:

Will be having 2 IODs per socket. This is reported via
CPUID_Fn8000001E.ECX[10:8] which is supposed to indicate the "Nodes per
Processor/Socket". As per the PPR for WH SP7 , this value can be (0, 1,
3) which respective refer to 1 Nodes Per Processor, 2 Nodes Per
Processor, 4 Nodes Per Processor.

Further the IOD ID can be obtained by considering the MSB of the 4-bit
DIE ID obtained via CPUID_Fn80000026

On the kernel side, we need to audit the PMC code paths which would need
the IOD ID to compute read the values of DF PMCs associated with those
IODs.

The patch has landed in the mainline kernel.
