This is a recipe for confusion. Please use a name that indicates that 
we're looking at the vcpu - VCPU_LPID for example.

What is a "latest LPID"? Really all you're doing is you're populating 
mas8 with the thread-specific lpid.

Just ignore the value in stlbe and directly write MAS8_TGS | lpid into mas8.

Please be more precise in this comment.

smp_processor_id()? Also since you've already defined that we can only 
have 2 threads, use & 1 instead of modulo - it's a lot faster. Just 
guard it with firmware_has_feature(SMT) and default lpid_idx to 0.

Do we really need this?

Use a different error code please. How about -ENOTSUPP?
