There are syntactic and formulation errors in this paragraph, it reads
funny. Please improve.

"should"?!?
What does that mean? You tested it on relevant machines or you're hoping
that nothing would go wrong?

So this leaves more questions open than before it:
* Is cpu_llc_shared_map now *the* mask for the L3?
* Is the X86_FEATURE_TOPOEXT thing still going to be used for the other cache
levels? Apparently yes, I guess.
IOW, what is the big picture here? I could use some more details in the
commit message about it.
