Nack.

The value of boot_cpu_data.logical_proc_id may be uninitialized and set to
default -1 on systems that pick a random core as boot cpu.  This was
inadvertently fixed by 9d85eb9119f4 ("x86/smpboot: Make logical package
management more robust") which is in 4.10-rc1.

Before 9d85eb9119f4:

[    3.971539] hswep_uncore_cpu_init: cpu 5 pkg 0 boot_cpu_data.logical_proc_id
65535
[    3.976504] hswep_uncore_cpu_init: cpu 5 pkg 0 cpu_data(0).logical_proc_id 0

After 9d85eb9119f4:

[    3.919112] hswep_uncore_cpu_init: cpu 5 pkg 0 boot_cpu_data.logical_proc_id 0
[    3.923391] hswep_uncore_cpu_init: cpu 5 pkg 0 cpu_data(0).logical_proc_id 0

This patch should not be applied to any stable branch.
