I'm ok with the idea but not fan of the implementation:

Call it boot_thread_id

You don't need that "again" loop and "handling_bootdn" weird boolean.

Instead, start with cpu = 1 instead of cpu = 0, and rename it to
"next_cpu".

Then, before the thread loop, check if we are on the same core
as boot_cpuhwid:

	if (same_core_as_boot_cpu(intserv)) {
		cpu = 0;
	} else if (next_cpu < nr_cpus_ids) {
		cpu = next_cpu++;
	} else {
		of_node_put(dn);
		break;
	}
