This makes the print conditional on the phy<->logical mapping not
matching; I thought it was a concious decision to print everything in
the initial version.

This way, if we have a 4 node system and nodes 1,2 are crossed we'll
only see:

 "Converting physical 2 to logical package 1"
 "Converting physical 1 to logical package 2"

And nothing on the other two nodes, which could be slightly confusing.

So we'll never 'shrink' the initially computed max; which could result
in using more memory than strictly needed, otoh it makes physical
hotplug happier.
