When we want to identify whether the proc_id is unreasonable or not, we
can call the "acpi_processor_validate_proc_id" function. It will search
in the duplicate IDs. If we find the proc_id in the IDs, we return true
to the call function. Conversely, false represents available.

When we establish all possible cpuid <-> nodeid mapping, we will use the
proc_id from ACPI table.

We do validation when we get the proc_id. If the result is true, we will
stop the mapping.
The patch title probably should include "acpi:" header. I can't tell
much about the specifics of the acpi changes but I think this is the
right approach for handling cpu hotplugs.

I will change the title in the next version.

Thanks.
Thanks.
