Yikes, okay, I've made a mistake somewhere. Sorry about that, I will
look into this ASAP.

If it's a divide by 0 as your last link indicates, that must mean there
are possible nodes, but have no CPUs, and those should be skipped. If
that's the case, the following should fix it, but I'm going to do some
more qemu testing with various CPU topologies to confirm.
