[PATCH v2 1/3] cacheinfo: Set cache 'id' based on DT data

From: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>
Use the minimum CPU h/w id of the CPUs associated with the cache for the
cache 'id'. This will provide a stable id value for a given system. As
we need to check all possible CPUs, we can't use the shared_cpu_map
which is just online CPUs. As there's not a cache to CPUs mapping in DT,
we have to walk all CPU nodes and then walk cache levels.
The cache_id exposed to user-space has historically been 32 bits, and
is too late to change. This value is parsed into a u32 by user-space
libraries such as libvirt:
https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/master/src/util/virresctrl.c#L1588
Give up on assigning cache-id's if a CPU h/w id greater than 32 bits
is found.

Use as a 32bit value has also been seen in DPDK patches here:

Changes since v1:
* Remove the second loop in favour of a helper.
An open question from v1 is whether it would be preferable to use an
index into the DT of the CPU nodes instead of the hardware id. This would
save an arch specific swizzle - but the numbers would change if the DT
were changed. This scheme isn't sensitive to the order of DT nodes.
