The wrapper in <asm/smp.h> is:

| /*
|  * Logical CPU mapping.
|  */
| extern u64 __cpu_logical_map[NR_CPUS];
| #define cpu_logical_map(cpu)    __cpu_logical_map[cpu]

... and use of that would blow up as described.

If modules are using cpu_logical_map(), this looks sane ot me, but I
wonder if we should instead turn cpu_logical_map() into a C wrapper in
smp.c, or at least mark __cpu_logical_map as __ro_after_init lest
someone have the bright idea to fiddle with it.

Mark.
