I am not sure if we can ever guarantee that DT and ACPI will get the
same ids whatever counter we use as it depends on the order presented in
the firmware(DT or ACPI). So I am not for generating ids for core and
threads in that way.

So I would like to keep it simple and just have this counters for
package ids as demonstrated in Shunyong's patch.

Also looking @ topology_get_acpi_cpu_tag again now, we should have
valid flag check instead of level = 0. Jeremy ?
