Should not be by machine type, but might be by cpu model (e.g. older
hardware lacking the needed support for exposing this to the guest.) IBM
folks, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Looks correct to me this is an information indicated by a facility
introduced with Z10 if I do not make an error.
Hm. Would that become a problem if we made availability of parameters
dependent upon a value in the machine (see the other thread I cc:ed you
on?)
Why?
The parameter can always be there, it is just that with older cpu model
we will not report the topology information to the guest.
The discussion on dies and on smp_dies_supported in this thread will be
interesting to follow because in my opinion dies for X or books/drawers
for Z are to be treated equally.
