Never mind, got confused with core_id and cpu_core_mask (which
corresponds to the cores of a chip). cpu_to_core_id() does exactly
what we have described above. Sorry for the noise.
I am ok with this patch, except that I would request if all the
changes to the topology structure be done within a single function for
ease of tracking it instead of distributing it all over the code.
