I think more after yesterday's discussion. There may be a better 
solution than this.

Actually, we don't have to probe all the PCU devices and stores them 
into the uncore_extra_pci_dev for the cpu_init().
We just need to pick up the first PCU device and check the existence of 
the SBOX once.

I will send out a patch shortly.

In theory, the pci_read_config_dword() may fails as well. It has 
possible that the issue can still be observed before the "> 8 nodes" patch.

I think the fixes should be 5306c31c5733 ("perf/x86/uncore/hsw-ep: 
Handle systems with only two SBOXes")

Thanks,
