I've never tried degenerate stuff with SD_OVERLAP, it might horribly
explode -- its not actually meant to work.

The SD_OVERLAP comes from not fully connected NUMA topologies; suppose
something like:

0------1
| |
| |
2------3

or:

( 10 20 20 0 )
( 20 10 0 20 )
( 20 0 10 20 )
( 0 20 20 10 )

Your domain level that models the single-hop/20 distance has overlapping
masks:

N0: 0-2
N1: 0,1,3
N2: 0,2,3
N3: 1-3

I've never tried to construct a NUMA topology that would be overlapping
and have redundant bits in.
