Certainly not :) I am being over optimistic on the underlying layer.

It gives a hint on the localization of the core in the system, which
can be useful when developing custom heat sinks. The translation 
from physical to linux cpu id is here to be consistent with the user
layer. The physical id is rarely used at that level.  

I will send a v2 for this patch.
