no need to update the code above.

It makes sense to me to add support for Processor devices of setting
persistent cpu <-> node mapping, but I just wondering if there is no
Processor device or Processor Operator for a processor entry(such as
local apic, the spec didn't say it's a mandatory) in MADT, how do we
set the mappings?

BTW, multi places in the ACPI driver are using the same pattern here
to scan all the processors, maybe we can add a function then call it
to reduce some lines of code?

Thanks
