i believe that part of it is an artifact of sparse cpuids on starcat;
each of the 18 backplane slots get 32 cpuids assigned to it, and those
are subdivided in various ways...

it looks like macros to slice & dice the cpuid on starcat can be found
at:

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/uts/sun4u/starcat/sys/starcat.h#82

the 558 is presumably 576 shrunk to the last cpuid actually used on the
last expander board.
