mostly observed on HMP systems where the CPU compute capacities are different and ends up in different scheduler domains. Since cpumask_of_node is returned instead core_sibling, the scheduler is confused with incorrect cpumasks(e.g. one CPU in two different sched domains at the same time) on CPU hotplug. Lets disable the NUMA siblings checks for the time being, as NUMA in socket machines have LLC's that will assure that the scheduler topology isn't "borken". The NUMA check exists to assure that if a LLC within a socket crosses NUMA nodes/chiplets the scheduler domains remain consistent. This code will likely have to be re-enabled in the near future once the NUMA mask story is sorted. At the moment its not necessary because the NUMA in socket machines LLC's are contained within the NUMA domains. Further, as a defensive mechanism during hot-plug, lets assure that the LLC siblings are also masked.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
