I have found one more concern. Are you really sure about this scheme ? I am
currently
experimenting with KVM, and it seems to have 16 CPUs per cluster, at least on
my machine.
Actually i suggest that KVM inherits the mapping from the host. Can we do the
same?
I will take a look at kvmtool, how it determines these IDs. But hardcoded
scheme is
definitely wrong.
Cc'ed Ashok because he might also be interested.
