this code is duplicated in a couple of other places.
how about a helper to find the numa node for a CPU?

I'd like a comment here explaining why it's needed.
E.g. /*
      * Linux guests discard SRAT info for non-present CPUs
      * as a result _PXM is required for all CPUs which might
      * be hot-plugged. For simplicity, add it for all CPUs.
