Are there further objections (besides Andi's) to show cpu_node_id
in /proc/cpuinfo?

As I've written in another mail I also plan to introduce
cpu_node_siblings and expose this information in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology

That would mean:
- for single-node processors node_siblings are equal to
  core_siblings.
- for dual-node processors node_siblings is the union of
  two sets of core_siblings (one set on each node).

Any objections/comments? Should I use some other naming instead of node?
Node means a set of cores plus a northbirdge and memory controller.
But maybe I should use chip instead of node (chip_siblings, cpu_chip_id,
etc.)? This would be in dependence on multi-CHIP module.

I guess it's way too late to add something like this for .30, right?
So I'll prepare some new patches and try to hit .31.


Thanks,
Andreas
