relative_domain_id() is used to get a unique id value within its next
higher level.

My understanding is that, to ensure a package scope unique core_id,
rather than Module/Tile scope unique, what is really needed here is
something like,
	apicid >>= x86_topo_system.dom_shifts[SMT];
	c->topo.core_id = apicid & (x86_topo_system.dom_size[PACKAGE]
- 1);

I don't have chance to confirm this on a platform with Module level
yet, but will do soon.

thanks,
