I don't think that's true any more. Commit fe631457ff3e changed it to
map the initial CPU's sequentially whether they are online or not.
Only after you run out of hardware queues will we start playing games.

That's what worries me about the conflict - the two changes did very

look at my resolution, and just in general how those two different
changes work together.
