I spot that x86 seems to have an implementation of early_cpu_to_node(); what's
wrong with it?

Surely those early uses of cpu_to_node() are equally broken on those other
architectures, so why should this be specific to arm64?

I don't think this is the right approach. Regardlesss of anything else, we
shouldn't have a solution that only fixes arm64.

Why can't we mandate an early_cpu_to_node(), and have the other architectures
implement that?

Why can't we change cpu_to_node() to automatically do the right thing?
