Jiri,

It wasn't OK as there are other users who index cpu_topology_map by CPU id.
I decided to give the alternative a try (attached): keep cpu_topology_map
indexed by CPU id, but extend it to fit max present CPU.

So for a system like this one:
  _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF == 16
  available: 2 nodes (0-1)
  node 0 cpus: 0 6 8 10 16 22 24 26
  node 0 size: 12004 MB
  node 0 free: 9470 MB
  node 1 cpus: 1 7 9 11 23 25 27
  node 1 size: 12093 MB
  node 1 free: 9406 MB
  node distances:
  node   0   1
    0:  10  20
    1:  20  10
