Well, OK.

Please at least consider doing the pr->id validation checks before
setting the ACPI companion for &per_cpu(cpu_devices, pr->id).

Also, acpi_bind_one() needs to be called on the "physical" devices
passed to ACPI_COMPANION_SET() (with NULL as the second argument) for
the reference counting and physical device lookup to work.

Please also note that acpi_primary_dev_companion() should return
per_cpu(cpu_sys_devices, pr->id) for the processor ACPI device, which
depends on the order of acpi_bind_one() calls involving the same ACPI
device.
