Bug description:
  Hi team,,

  I have a customer, who tried to install Xenial or upgrade to 4.4 kernel with Trusty on our cloud platform(qemu 1.5.3), reports a defect. he complains that only  one cpu is successfully detected, other cpus is disabled if
  he used 4.4 kernel. I tried to bisect Xenial kernel tree, and found that this bug was introduced by the following commit.

      x86/topology: Create logical package id

      BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397880

      For per package oriented services we must be able to rely on the number of CPU
      packages to be within bounds. Create a tracking facility, which

      - calculates the number of possible packages depending on
  nr_cpu_ids after boot

      - makes sure that the package id is within the number of possible packages. If
        the apic id is outside we map it to a logical package id if there is enough
        space available.

      Provide interfaces for drivers to query the mapping and do translations from
      physcial to logical ids.

  and then I backported 7b0501b1e7cddd32b265178e32d332bdfbb532d4 from
  Linus tree to Xenial kernel, the issue goes away, so could we consider
  to backport it to xenial kernel tree to solve this issue in next
  release?
