IMO, you really need to define phys_cpuid_t in a common place or people will
forget that it may be 64-bit, because they'll only be looking at their arch.

Since x86 and ARM64 are using different types for phys_cpuid_t, we need to
introduce something like following if define it in common place:

in linux/acpi.h,

#if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_IA64)
typedef u32 phys_cpuid_t;
#define PHYS_CPUID_INVALID (phys_cpuid_t)(-1)
#else if defined(CONFIG_ARM64)
typedef u64 phys_cpuid_t;
#define PHYS_CPUID_INVALID INVALID_HWID
#endif

I think it's awful, did I miss something?

Well, you can define the type and PHYS_CPUID_INVALID in the arch
code and then do this in a common header:

#ifndef PHYS_CPUID_INVALID
typedef u32 phys_cpuid_t;
#define PHYS_CPUID_INVALID (phys_cpuid_t)(-1)
#endif

That would allow you to avoid the need to duplicate the
definitions where it is not necessary.

I also think that's awful. I'm rather in favour of a per-arch
phys_cpuid_t.

OK, so what about the above?
