unsigned int cpu please. There are no negative CPU numbers yet :)

I just looked what arch_match_cpu_phys_id() actually does and I couldn't
help myself to get a fit of laughter. x86 uses the weak default function
in drivers/of/cpu.c:

bool __weak arch_match_cpu_phys_id(int cpu, u64 phys_id)
{
	return (u32)phys_id == cpu;
}

So this loop is the most convoluted way to write:

       cpu = apic_id;

which is valid because the to be started CPU must be present, no?

I'm not opposed against the CPU number argument per se, but the
justification for it is dubious at best.

Thanks,
