/s/in SICL/in a SICL/ [and all other places, including the code change], 
or maybe it is better mention "IO super cluster" as well for people who 
would not know or remember.

You are not really saying why. I would mention that we do it as it is 
not appropiate to associate with a CPU die, and you can also mention 
problems that associating with a SICL creates.

Please also mention how changing FW definition is ok at this stage.

too long, just have "The PMU is in a SICL and has no CPU affinity"
