+1. Multiple sockets is pretty uncommon and often comes with significant
performance implications - e.g. if VM is also splitting memory into N nodes,
that can lead to significant higher overhead during reclaim due to node
imbalances and premature OOMs. If the reported topology is not real, it
makes a lot more sense to keep it basic.

Thanks.
