Sure. But the problem is that we don't know for sure how many
of the sibling was enable in the kernel. Kernel support up to
2 siblings right now, but it might be more in later kernel. And
user might turn off sibling in kernel.
So divide the number of cpu in cpuinfo by number of siblings per
physical package do not work reliable.
Any comment to add one entry into /proc/cpuinfo to tell which physical
cpu it belong to? I don't mind submit a patch. It will be something
look like:
processor : 2
physical cpu : 1
