Ok, thanks for the update.  I agree that we should be clearing the mapping 
at node hot-remove since any cpu that would subsequently get onlined and 
assume one of the previous cpu's ids is not guaranteed to have the same 
affinity.

I'm just really hoping that we don't touch the acpi code and that we can 
remove both cpu_hotplug-unmap-cpu2node-when-the-cpu-is-hotremoved.patch 
and cpu_hotplug-unmap-cpu2node-when-the-cpu-is-hotremoved-fix.patch from 
-mm.

Thanks again!
