It always the logic CPU 0 though the physical number might be different.

This assignment is redundant anyway - the kernel is starting with the array
zeroed.  So just remove this entire initialization and do your array
initialization in your mp_ops->smp_setup.

And to tell another dirty secret - the arrays currently happen to be unused
though we should use them at some point ...
