Thanks for the confirmation here.

I was wondering if this works differently on Intel. I was trying to figure
out on 2 socket intel system if we can create two separate resctrl groups
sharing the same CLOSID (one group using CLOSID 1 on socket 0 and another
group CLOSID 1 socket 1). No. We cannot do that.

Even though hardware supports separate allocation for each domain, resctrl
design does not support that.
