[PATCH 0/6] Support PPTT for ARM64

ACPI 6.2 adds the Processor Properties Topology Table (PPTT), which is
used to describe the processor and cache topologies. Ideally it is
used to extend/override information provided by the hardware, but
right now ARM64 is entirely dependent on firmware provided tables.

This patch parses the table for the cache topology and CPU topology.
For the latter we also add an additional topology_cod_id() macro,
and a package_id for arm64. Initially the physical id will match
the cluster id, but we update users of the cluster to utilize
the new macro. When we enable PPTT for the arm64 the cluster/socket
starts to differ. Because of this we also make some dynamic decisions
about mapping thread/core/cod/socket to the thread/socket used by the
scheduler.

For example on juno:
