I did not find odd configuration that asking for old logical.

According to Documentation/scheduler/sched-domains.txt, Maybe never.
"A domain's span MUST be a superset of it child's span (this restriction
could be relaxed if the need arises), and a base domain for CPU i MUST
span at least i." etc. etc.
