Actually this came up in an unrelated question today.  I found that
where other architectures use a physical ID, we use an address.  So we
really have no use for logical/physical mappings.  When the CPU hotplug
code is introduced, it will actually remove the logical numbering and
loops over all cpus will be done with loops over all physical cpus and
a check to see whether that cpu is online.
