While the above looks good and matches with what I am attempting to do
as well ...

> +		cpu_topology[cpu].llc_id = llc_id;

This looks wrong for simple reason that this is derived incorrectly from
the cpu-map while there is no guarantee that it matches the last level
cache ID on the system as we didn't parse the cache topology for this.
So I disagree with this change as it might conflict with the actual and
correct llc_id.
