Oh, right, another problem.  It's possible that apicid <-> numa
mapping exists when apicid <-> cpu doesn't.  Again, this is a corner
case which might not matter but I have no idea what kind of brokeness
is being worked around and it would also be difficult to test whether
the change is okay.

If someone can tell me that this workaround can go away, it would be
awesome.
