Where is this reported? Via the SYSCTL_physinfo hypercall? You might have to
work backwards from the cpu_sibling_map and cpu_core_map values which are
used there to derive the info returned by that hypercall. The fact that the
APIC IDs of the CPUs are pretty random and jumbled as the CPUs are brought
up should not matter.
