I think marking Hemisphere as a LLC in a P10 scenario is a good idea.

Peter, Valentin, Vincent, Mel, etal
On architectures where we have multiple levels of cache access latencies
within a DIE, (For example: one within the current LLC or SMT core and the
other at MC or Hemisphere, and finally across hemispheres), do you have any
suggestions on how we could handle the same in the core scheduler?
