The goal of this patch is to have a stable core-id which does not depend
on any DT related semantics, which involve non-obvious computations on
modern PowerPC server cpus.
With this patch, the DT core id is computed on-demand as:
(core-id / smp_threads) * smt
where smt is the number of threads per core in the host.
This formula should be consolidated in a helper since it is needed in
several places.
Other uses for core-id includes: compute a stable cpu_index (which
allows random order hotplug/unplug without breaking migration) and
NUMA.
