(Sorry for the delay!)

It appears that this is a different call path than the one in
smp_init_package_map function. I *think* the following call path is the
one shown in the dmesg, but I am not sure:

cpu_bringup_and_idle
  cpu_bringup (arch/x86/xen/smp.c)
    smp_store_cpu_info (this call path branch is included for context)
      identify_secondary_cpu
        identify_cpu
          detect_ht
    topology_update_package_map

Sorry about the potentially misleading dmesg excerpt I posted.
