[Xenial kernel] Only one cpu is successfully detected.

[wyang]

Hi team,,

I have a customer, who tried to install Xenial or upgrade to 4.4 kernel 
with Trusty on our cloud platform(qemu 1.5.3), reports a defect. he 
complains that only  one cpu is successfully detected, other cpus is 
disabled if
he used 4.4 kernel. I tried to bisect Xenial kernel tree, and found that 
this bug was introduced by the following commit.

     x86/topology: Create logical package id

     BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397880

     For per package oriented services we must be able to rely on the 
number of CPU
     packages to be within bounds. Create a tracking facility, which

     - calculates the number of possible packages depending on 
nr_cpu_ids after boot

     - makes sure that the package id is within the number of possible 
packages. If
       the apic id is outside we map it to a logical package id if there 
is enough
       space available.

     Provide interfaces for drivers to query the mapping and do 
translations from
     physcial to logical ids.

and then I backported 7b0501b1e7cddd32b265178e32d332bdfbb532d4 from 
Linus tree to Xenial kernel, the issue goes away, so could we consider 
to backport it to xenial kernel tree to solve this issue in next release?
