Propagate the topology information from the PPTT tree to the cpu_topology array. We can get the thread id, core_id and cluster_id by assuming certain levels of the PPTT tree correspond to those concepts. The package_id is flagged in the tree and can be found by passing an arbitrary large level to setup_acpi_cpu_topology() which terminates its search when it finds an ACPI node flagged as the physical package. If the tree doesn't contain enough levels to represent all of thread/core/cod/package then the package id will be used for the missing levels. Since server/ACPI machines are more likely to be multisocket and NUMA, this patch also modifies the default clusters=sockets behavior for ACPI machines to sockets=sockets. DT machines continue to represent sockets as clusters. For ACPI machines, this results in a more normalized view of the topology. Cluster level scheduler decisions are still being made due to the "MC" level in the scheduler which has know...
