How about this version (gcc-3.2 generates the same amount of assembler):

int find(int this_cpu)
{
    int i;

    for ( i = (this_cpu+1)%smp_num_cpus;
            i != this_cpu;
            i = (i+1)%smp_num_cpus )
    {
        int physical = cpu_logical_map(i);
        int sibling = cpu_sibling_map[physical];

        if (idle_cpu(physical) && idle_cpu(sibling))
            return physical;
    }
    return -1;
}
