I am afraid that it may not be as ideal as it looks, considering the
following factors:
-1. For the case of 'bootcpu < nr_cpu_ids', crash can happen evenly
across any cpu in the system, which seriously undermines the
protection intended here (Under the most optimistic scenario, there is
a 50% chance of success)

-2. For the re-ordering of logical numbering, IMHO, if there is
concern that re-ordering will break something, the partial re-ordering
can not avoid that.  We ought to spot probable hazards so as to ease
worries.


Thanks,
