Peter is confused :-) So you're saying that:

 - old Intel is pkg wide (it has no DIE enumeration)
 - Cascadelake (part of the skylake refresh) is per-DIE
 - modern Intel is pkg wide (they have no DIE enumeration)
 - future Intel will be pkg wide

And this works because for everything that does not enumerate a specific
DIE topology, it ends up begin the same as the PKG topology.

But what about future products that have DIE but are not CASCADE (what
about COOPERLAKE) ?

If this really is a one off for CASCADE, then yes, I think we should be
doing what Dhananjay suggests, and then the PKG naming is fine.
