Note, this does not preclude Linux from supporting 
assymetric MP, should the need arise: if MP assymetry is 
supported then that can (and should) be expressed in the 
sysfs topology accordingly - and the moment the assymetric 
MP topology is enumerated in sysfs it gives a place for 
the different event_source's to live there as well.

Thanks,
