You can remove the "1" above as the domain is .de :-)
Ok, so after looking at the dmesg you sent me, it looks like it works as
expected.
Apparently, the cores get enumerated in the order they're listed in SRAT
- this also explains the mapping between APIC ID and core number in
Linux.
Your patch looks simple enough as you're basically making that mapping
explicit with apicid_to_cpunum and make sure it remains stable when the
cores reappear.
And since APIC ID doesn't change across physical hotplug (does it?), it
all works as expected.
But, since this is BIOS and BIOS does crazy hacks to accomodate b0rked
OSes, I'd like it if Tony looked at this too, whether it makes sense and
whether that solution is fine.
@Tony: the text should explain it all, leaving in the rest.
Thanks.
