Portable Hardware Locality

Edit Package hwloc

The Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) software package provides
a portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...)
of the hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including
NUMA memory nodes, shared caches, processor sockets, processor cores
and processing units (logical processors or "threads"). It also gathers
various system attributes such as cache and memory information. It primarily
aims at helping applications with gathering information about modern
computing hardware so as to exploit it accordingly and efficiently.

hwloc may display the topology in multiple convenient formats.
It also offers a powerful programming interface (C API) to gather information
about the hardware, bind processes, and much more.

- update to 2.7.1:
  * Workaround crashes when virtual machines report incoherent x86 CPUID
    information about numbers of cores and threads.
    Thanks to Peter Bense for the report.
  * Use setenv() instead of putenv() when trying to force enable oneAPI L0
    support, to avoid issues with applications that touch the environment,
    thanks to Josh Hursey for the patch.
  * Add some warnings at the end of configure when GPU libraries are
    missing on the system or their path is missing in the environment.
  * Backends
    + Add support for NUMA nodes and caches with more than 64 PUs across
      multiple processor groups on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.
    + Group objects are not created for Windows processor groups anymore,
      except if HWLOC_WINDOWS_PROCESSOR_GROUP_OBJS=1 in the environment.
    + Expose "Cluster" group objects on Linux kernel 5.16+ for CPUs
      that share some internal cache or bus. This can be equivalent
      to the L2 Cache level on some platforms (e.g. x86) or a specific
      level between L2 and L3 on others (e.g. ARM Kungpeng 920).
      Thanks to Jonathan Cameron for the help.
      - HWLOC_DONT_MERGE_CLUSTER_GROUPS=1 may be set in the environment
	to prevent these groups from being merged with identical caches, etc.
    + Improve the oneAPI LevelZero backend:
      - Expose subdevices such as "ze0.1" inside root OS devices ("ze0")
	when the hardware contains multiple subdevices.
      - Add many new attributes to describe device type, and the
	numbers of slices, subslices, execution units and threads.
      - Expose the memory information as LevelZeroHBM/DDR/MemorySize infos.
    + Ignore the max frequencies of cores in Linux cpukinds when the
      base frequencies are available (to avoid exposing hybrid CPUs
      when Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 gives slightly different max
