   Thanks Ryan

   I think you mean the code in xen/arch/x86/cpu/common.c.
   I think this would work when smp_num_siblings = 2. (i.e.
   Logical_proc_id is 0 or 1).

   Looking at the new code, it 
   looks like xen now support more than 2 logical CPUs per
   physical CPU. I am not sure if there is hardware available
   with more than 2 logical CPUs, but it seems we will need
   to support more than 2 HT per physical CPU in xenoprof, too.
   I was wondering if there is some macro that could be used
   to determine the logical CPU id in the more general case
   in which smp_num_siblings > 2?

   Anyway, thanks for the hint...

   Renato
