What does your current scheduler topology  look like?

For CPU 0 to 3, do you have the below ?
DIE [0     -     3] [4-7]
MC  [0] [1] [2] [3]

But you would like something like below for cpu 0-1 instead ?
DIE [0     -     3] [4-7]
CLS [0 - 1] [2 - 3]
MC  [0] [1]

with SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES only set to MC level ?

AFAICT, arch_topology.c is only used by arm/arm64 and riscv so this is
not initialized for other archs

In scheduler, we look for the last level of SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES to
find shared memory. It seems that cpu_coregroup_mask doesn't return
the correct cpumask in your case as it returns a full cluster instead
of a subset

sds must  stay aligned with id and size so instead of modifying id and
size you should returns a cpumask that reflects your topology
