yes. I should have added some more background.
LPARs are impacted by the use of ibm,chip-id because the property
does not exist under PowerVM and the topology-id in sysfs is always
-1 even if NUMA nodes are defined.
Under QEMU/KVM, ibm,chip-id is badly calculated when using uncommon
SMT configuration. This leads to a bogus topology-id value being
exported in sysfs.
The use of cpu_to_node() guarantees to have a correct NUMA node id
under both environments QEMU/KVM and PowerVM.
On the PowerNV platform, the numa node id returned by cpu_to_node()
is computed from the "ibm,associativity" property of the CPU. Its
value is built from the OPAL chip id and is equivalent to ibm,chip-id.
May be I should rephrase the commit log in a v2 ?
