Yep, this should do the trick - i'll need a Signed-off-by line 
to apply it.

Ideally i think c->phys_proc_id should should be available 
regardless of CONFIG_SMP or CONFIG_NUMA considerations - but 
that would be a wider change. (feel free to have a shot at it 
though, in addition to the fix above)

Thanks,
