I don't think this is right; the llc_id thing depends on the online
mask, not on possible mask. So if you boot with a number of CPUs offline
and late bring them online, you're screwy (IIRC this is actually a very
common thing in virt land).

Additionally, llc_id depends on the sched_domain tree, if someone were
to go create partitions, they can split an LLC and llc_id would split
right along with it.

I think you need to move this into sched/topology.c and handle hotplug /
domain (re) creation.

And yes, that's going to be a pain, because you might need to re-hash
existing lists.
