Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] CPU enumeration in Xen
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.6.070618
It seems a bit unlikely, since the enumeration code is from Linux. Perhaps
the enumeration order has changed in Linux?

To my knowledge the enumeration order is determined by the order we find
CPUs in the BIOS tables, and can hence vary across different systems, and
even across BIOS upgrades.
