Well, if I wouldn't merge this then the upcoming cpu_to_book_group
function would just be horribly long and unreadable. I think merging
this so it looks the same like cpu_to_phys_group is the right thing
to do.
If I wouldn't do that then the cpu_to_book_group function would just
be a real big mess instead of quite simple function.
