Fam,

Return -1 is possible (in the case where first CPU on a node doesn't
have an L3 cache). Larger than nr_node_ids seems a bit more speculative.
It would mean a system with multiple L3 cache instances per node. I
suppose that's theoretically possible. In the limit case every CPU may
have its own personal L3 cache, but still have multiple CPUs grouped
together on a node.

Patch below (to be folded into part7 of next version). Increases the
size of the bitmap. Checks for get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() returning -1.
Patch just ignores the node in this case. I'm never quite sure how much
code to add for "Can't happen" scenarios.
