There is a fixed defined mapping between logical & physical mappings,
so that may not be an issue.
A logical cluster apicid is encoded with the high 16bits being the
cluster number, and the low 16bits being a bitmap of which core
in the cluster to send the irq to. It sounded like a single
cluster can not span multiple sockets.
So in practice if you have 2 sockets you have a cluster id of 1.
Which means physical apic ids over 16 and logical apicids over 65536.
