All that means nothing if it doesn't have any effect on scheduling.

If moving the working set between L3s within the package, as you call
it, is not measureable, i.e., task migration, then we don't care. The
whole exercise is not about modelling the hardware topology accurately
but for presenting sufficient detailed topology to the scheduler so that
it works optimally on Zen.
