This seems broken vs lovely things like booting with maxcpus= or
physical hotplug where you add logical CPUs.

Given the latter hunk limits it to one invocation (is phys_id 0
guaranteed to exist? Can a BIOS monkey screw us over?) only to then call
it on all CPUs, shouldn't this be changed to let
acpi_cppc_processor_probe() call it for every CPU that comes online?
