Actually, the problem is bigger.
Documentation/cputopology.txt:
====
2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:
the CPU core ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
architecture and platform dependent.

We should not use core id as an index in an array since it's an arbitrary
number (from kernel POV).
