apic_id actually represents unique cpu hardware id in MADT to identify
a CPU for x86 and ia64, it was introduced before ACPI supports ARM
platform, when ARM was introduced to ACPI, it needs some updates as
you said.

As I said above, apic_id is cpu hardware id in MADT, its name is
x86 specific now, but meaning behind the name is not x86 specific,
we can rename it as physid or cpu_hw_id, and then will be generic.

Rafael, is it ok to you to rename apic_id to physid or cpu_hw_id in
ACPI core for the reason above?

Yes, I think there is no easy way to fix that, the main reason is
that MPIDR for ARM64 is 64bit, and apic_id for x86 and ia64 is no
more than 32bit.
