That's the problem, we parse out "cluster" info according to the
description in cpu-map, but do assign it to package_id, which used to
configure the MC sched domain, not cluster sched domain.

That is to say, "cluster" in cpu-map is used to describe the package_id.
We can't get cluster_id from DT.

Qing
