Sounds good to me.

It seems that cpumap/cpulist is another pair of mask/list.

/sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpulist

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index1/shared_cpu_map
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index1/shared_cpu_list

Best Regards,
Huang, Ying
