We can take bsca to be coherent with the include file where we define 
ESCA_UTILITY_MTCR inside the bsca.
And we can rename the define to SCA_UTILITY_MTCR as it is common for 
both BSCA and ESCA the (E) is too much.

You are right, we should look at the drawer and book id too.
Something like that I think:

         if ((topology_physical_package_id(vcpu->cpu) !=
              topology_physical_package_id(vcpu->arch.prev_cpu)) ||
             (topology_book_id(vcpu->cpu) !=
              topology_book_id(vcpu->arch.prev_cpu)) ||
             (topology_drawer_id(vcpu->cpu) !=
              topology_drawer_id(vcpu->arch.prev_cpu)))
                 return true;


Thanks,
