Hi all,

For migration and arbitrary CPU add/rm, I have an idea to transmit
the source topology to dest for migration. for that we don't need to
care the topology problem on destination. we can add structure to
describe topology when parse smp. the topology show the cpu
details present:

                                 topology
                                        |
   |                                    |                         |
socket0                      socket1              socket2
   |  |                                ...                      ...
   |  core_sibling
core0
   |  |
   |  thread_sibling
thread0
   |
cpu_present

1) each time we create one CPU we update the cpu_present, and
when remove cpu, we clean the present bit.

2) when migration, we pass the cpu_present to destination via a
new vmsd. then from the tree hierarchy we would be aware of the
existed apic-id. so on destination loading the new calculated
apic-id to cpu object. one thing need to do I think is that we must
rebuild the srat table for preboot cpus before resume all cpu
on destination.

Thanks,
Chen
