I have a question regarding the meaning of cpu_data.proc_id.
My T1000 contains a single T1 processor, with 8 cores and 4 threads per core. The core_id
value for each hardware thread is set up properly (though starting from 1 rather than 0).
The proc_id value, however, does not make sense: it maps to core_id - 1. I would have
expected one of two values:
1. The virtual processor ID, as described in the Machine Description block ("cpu"->"id");
2. A physical processor ID, shared by all 32 threads (and differs among chips on the T2+).
While the former is probably the same as the kernel's CPU id, the latter, so I believe,
should be part of cpu_data.
A side effect of this issue is that cpu_sibling_map and cpu_core_map are the same (though
this may be the expected result, I'm not sure).
Here are the per-virtual-processor values on my machine. The format is
CPUID proc_id core_id (sibling map) (core map)
