Hi Kan,

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, I think we can factor out the common loop where GIDNIDMAP is being 
checked.
But inside snbep_pci2phy_map_init() we have a bit different procedure which
also does the following:

if (topology_max_die_per_package() > 1)
     die_id = i;

I think that having this code, at least, in our case could bring us to the
same issue which we are trying to fix. But of course we could
parametrize this checking.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Alexander
