I would recommend to have sane defaults in core risc-v code in case of
absence of /cpu-map node as it is optional. The reason I mentioned is that
Conor mentioned how the default values in absence of the node looked quite
wrong. I don't know if it is possible on RISC-V but on ARM64 we do have
default values if arch_topology fails to set based on DT/ACPI.
