I don't really understand the meaning of that message. What are you
updating here?

So you're going from something that was relatively generic
(of_node_to_nid) to something that is now completely hardcoding the
Cavium view of CPU topology. Doesn't ACPI have similar abstractions?

How is that ACPI specific?
