Now, hot-added cpus will have the lowest free cpu id.

Because of this, in most of systems which has only cpu-hot-add, cpu-ids are always
contiguous even after cpu hot add.
In enterprise, this would be considered as imcompatibility.

determining cpuid <-> lapicid at boot will make cpuids sparse. That may corrupt
exisiting script or configuration/resource management software.

I basically agree. Just thinking influence of this small imcompatibility of forcing
ideal way because of my standing point.
