Yeah, no. Also, looking at it now, I see why it worked and how its been
wrong :-) As you say it returns the node mask, not the PKG mask as it
should have been doing.

So don't change the default topology, in general I'd say its still true
that you get one or more packages inside a node. Change override the
default topology in arch code.
