2.6.26 : Strange processor / core mapping with Intel Q6600

[paniscus]

Hello,

It seems that the cpu / core-id mapping has changed since vanilla 2.6.26 (also
2.6.26.8, 2.6.27.29) with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600.

With 2.6.25.20 I have a correct mapping :

Processor 0 <---> Core-id 0
Processor 1 <---> Core-id 1
Processor 2 <---> Core-id 2
Processor 3 <---> Core-id 3


With 2.6.26 :

I have a this strange mapping :

Processor 0 <---> Core-id 0
Processor 1 <---> Core-id 2
Processor 2 <---> Core-id 3
Processor 3 <---> Core-id 1

/proc/cpuinfo with 2.6.26 :

I would appreciate it if you could help me on this. Is it maybe already an known
issue ?
