Thank you very much for reviewing. :)

OK.

User should call allocate_logical_cpuid() to get a new logical cpuid.
This allocator will ensure the synchronization.

Will mention it in the comment.

It is not different. Since max_logical_cpuid is new, this is ensure it 
won't
go beyond NR_CPUS.

Thanks.
