Well, I have no idea too what are you even fighting for? It sounds like
a giant waste of time to me for something as trivial as this.

What second patch?

Once the cleanup is done, only one of the two will survive - either
TOPO_CPU_TYPE_ANY or TOPO_CPU_TYPE_UNKNOWN. I'm calling the former "ANY" to
denote that it is the *same* ANY as X86_CPU_TYPE_ANY.

I don't know how else to explain it to you.
