Do we need this mpidr packing only because in drivers/acpi/processor_core.c
phys_id is defined as an int ?

What you could do, is to typedef a cpuid_t type in arch code (with
appropriate size and a corresponding invalid value, say ~0) and use that
instead of an int in drivers/acpi/processor_core.c to store phys_id.

phys_id is used as an error value too (ie -1 as a magic number), see
drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c, retrieved through acpi_get_phys_id(),
it should not be that difficult to change the parsing API to keep current
code behaviour unchanged and define at the same time a proper type for
the cpu physical identifier, with no mpidr packing needed whatsoever.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
