I have comments on the code in this patch, but they are not the most
important point. What I am really worried about, it is that as ARM,
I do not want to know what an apic_id is. This code is *supposed* to be
generic and yet it is chock-full of x86 specific stuff and you are
trying to make ARM HW concepts fit with x86 ones, and I am not happy
with that.

To be clearer, why does not this look-up of:

logical-cpu-index -> physical-cpu-index

is not carried out using the acpi_id ? Every architecture will have to
add arch specific code to carry out the reverse look-up:

acpi_id -> apic_id (x86)
acpi_id -> mpidr_el1 (arm64)

and the code would end up being split in a nice way. On top of that, I wonder
why ACPI structures like eg struct acpi_processor contain x86 specific
data (ie apic_id). I know it is a HW identifier as the MPIDR_EL1 is on
arm64, but I do not want to deal with that in generic ACPI code because
that's not generic at ALL.

What if another architecture wants to use ACPI ? Are we going to map its
HW CPU identifier to an apic_id only because that's what x86 requires ?

I am sorry I do not like that. I understand it is easier to map ARM code
to existing ACPI structures but I feel we will run into issues very soon
because of that.

Is it that complex to remove the apic_id dependency in *generic* ACPI
code and replace it with functions that hook into arch specific code to
carry out the logical to physical cpu mappings ?

I understand this is harder to do, but it will make your life easier
in the long run. I am thinking of other pieces of code like the
supposedly generic ACPI CPUidle driver, where we *still* depend on the apic
to detect idle states, this is not going to fly, I am sorry, we need to
have code that has a chance to be generic from the beginning not as an
afterthought.
