My recollection was that the setting of these CPUID values is tied in how the toolstack sees it - and since the toolstack runs in the initial domain - that is where it picks this data up. This problem had been discussed by Andrew Cooper at some point (Hackathon? Emails? IRC?) and moved under the 'fix cpuid creation/parsing'. I think that this issue should not affect Elena's patchset - as the vNUMA is an innocent bystander that gets affected by this.
