The Intel Software Developer's Manual defines the scope of HFI (registers and memory buffer) as a package. Use package scope(*) in the software representation of an HFI instance. Using die scope in HFI instances has the effect of creating multiple conflicting instances for the same package: each instance allocates its own memory buffer and configures the same package-level registers. Specifically, only one of the allocated memory buffers can be set in the MSR_IA32_HW_FEEDBACK_PTR register. CPUs get incorrect HFI data from the table. The problem does not affect current HFI-capable platforms because they all have single-die processors. (*) We used die scope for HFI instances because there had been processors with packages enumerated as dies. None of those systems supported HFI, though. If such a system emerged, it would need to be quirked.
