Hum, I'd still assign breaking down the problem space to intelligence. This doesn't require self-awareness. Self-awareness (as we know it) is closely linked to establishing an internal narration and is very much retroactive in nature. Its main property is the introduction of bias. I'm not sure, if this is what we're after for any kind of practical application. (However, it apparently serves well as a high-hanging fruit on the goal post.)
