Should have been @cpu. Will send a patch to update it.

Hmmm... are you saying that the name is too confusing with
cpu_to_node() and should be renamed to cpu_to_node_via_apicid()? In
that case, I agree but wish the name were something which represents
what it does as _via_apicid postfix doesn't really tell much. Any
better idea?

Thanks.
