I don't think we can rely on that as there is no guarantee on the position of
the biggest CPU. We would have to iterate through every CPU in the mask instead
to figure out the one with the largest capacity. And we moved to this as
Vincent wasn't keen on assuming we have few CPUs and potentially not scaling on
systems with large number of CPUs. This list should be faster as the number of
capacity level is much smaller than the number of CPUs.

It should. Super here should have the capacity of 1024 and everything else
scaled relative to it like any other system with 3 tiers of capacities.
