Hello,
So, overall, I think this is the right way to go although I have no
idea whether the acpi part is okay.

Rename it to nr_logical_cpuids and just mention that it's allocated
contiguously?

And maybe mention how the two variables are synchronized?

So, the original code didn't have this failure mode, why is this
different for the new code?
Thanks.
