Comment 6 for bug 1156456

I think the answer to this problem really depends on what the user of the this data is expecting to get

If the user is taking the toplogy data and doing cpus = cores * sockets * threads, then merely adding in a numa node count is still going to give them broken information, since you can't assume NUMA topologies are symetrical.

So if users need a total CPU count for the host, then we should really just expose a total CPU number explicitly, and not require them to multiply together cores/sockets/threads.

If users actually want to see the NUMA topology, then we have a much bigger job than just adding numa cell count.
