In ACPI processor drivers, we use direct comparisons of cpu logical

So introduce invalid_logical_cpuid() to identify cpu with invalid
logical cpu num, then it will be used to replace the direct comparisons
with -1.


Ah, OK I see that this fixes the issue I raised in PATCH 1/7, so I think
you need to reorder this and 1/7 patch IMO.

Well, comparing an unsigned int with -1 is not technically invalid (although it
involves an implicit type conversion), but yes, Hanjun, please reorder the
patches.

Sure, I will.

Thanks
Hanjun
