Good to know. Maybe later when one package have more cores like 30 cores etc.

Yes, that should work. but should do the same thing for x2apic

in acpi_parse_x2apic should have

> +       if (processor->local_apic_id == -1) {
> +               ++disabled_cpus;
> +               return -EINVAL;

that is the reason why i want to extend acpi_register_lapic()
to take extra disabled_id (one is 0xff and another is 0xffffffff)
so could save some lines.
