So I suspect what Yinghai tried to say if CPU0 and CPU1 are not on the
same node we do the printout incorrectly.

Arguably this was a pre-existing condition, but would be nice to fix it
now that this code has emerged out of steady bitrot! :-)

How difficult would it be in your opinion? I think the best way to go
about it would be to include CPU#0 in the list - I don't think anyone will
be confused by the fact that it has already booted. That way the 'gap' for
CPU#0 would be eliminated. Or something like that.

Btw., while staring at that code once more I noticed the following small
nit, there's a pre-existing weird way of writing the -1 literal:

if (current_node > (-1))

Thanks,

Ingo
