Hmm. So I'm confused -- I thought you said in #9 that "There should
be just 2 physical sockets on the mainboard". So PLPA is now
reporting 2 sockets, numbered correctly.

I do have PLPA intentionally skipping reporting sockets that have no
cores on them. Are you saying that plpa-info should report sockets
with no cores? I chose not to do that because how would you know
what they are? Linux only reports the sockets that are in use -- how
would you know what sockets are not in use? For example, what if you
populate a motherboard with 4 sockets in sockets 0 and 1 -- how would
PLPA know that sockets 2 and 3 exist?
