Since the definition of the term "cluster" is not well defined in the architecture, we should avoid using it. Also the physical package id is currently mapped to so called "clusters" in ARM/ARM64 platforms which is already argumentative. Currently PSCI checker uses the physical package id assuming that CPU power domains map to "clusters" and the physical package id in the code as it stands also maps to cluster boundaries. It does that trying to test "cluster" idle states to its best. However the CPU power domain often but not always maps directly to the processor topology. This patch removes the dependency on physical_package_id from the topology in this PSCI checker. Also it replaces all the occurences of clusters to cpu_groups which is derived from core_sibling_mask and may not directly map to physical "cluster".

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
