The cpu_2_node[] array for i386 is initialized to all 0's, meaning that
until modified at CPU bring-up, all CPUs are mapped to node 0. When
CPUs are brought online, they are mapped to the appropriate node by
various mechanisms, depending on the underlying hardware. When we unmap
CPUs (hotplug time), we should return the mapping for the CPU that is
going away to its original state, ie: 0. When this code was initially
submitted, the misguided poster (me) made the mistake of putting a -1 in
the cpu_2_node[] array for the CPU going away. This patch fixes this
mistake, and allows code to get a valid node number for all valid CPU
numbers. This is important, because most (if not all) callers do not
error check the value returned by the cpu_to_node() macro, and they
should not have to. The API specifies that a valid node number be
returned for any valid CPU number.
