I think this stuff is vague enough already so to start with I would drop
patch 4 and 5 and stop assuming what machines are more likely to ship
with ACPI than DT.
I am just saying, for the umpteenth time, that these levels have no
architectural meaning _whatsoever_, level is a hierarchy concept
with no architectural meaning attached.
The only consistent thing PPTT is bringing about is the hierarchy
levels/grouping (and _possibly_ - what a package boundary is), let's
stick to that for the time being.

Nit: you can move setup_acpi_cpu_topology() to include/linux/acpi.h,
provide an empty inline function for the !ACPI case and remove
this function ACPI ifdeffery.

If you want a package id (that's just a package tag to group cores), you
should not use a large level because you know how setup_acpi_cpu_topology()works, you should add an API that allows you to retrieve the package id
(so that you can use th ACPI_PPTT_PHYSICAL_PACKAGE flag consistenly,
whatever it represents).
