I remember at some point Xen purposely re-enumerating the cpu numbers so 
that they would have a more sensible arrangement -- i.e., you could 
expect logical cpus on the same thread / core / socket to be grouped 
together consecutively.

As you can see here though, cpu 0 is still on socket 1 (which is 
probably why Xen keeps cpu 0 on socket 1 in its re-enumertation).
