I should add that the main use-case for retrieving CPU number seems to be
ensuring memory is allocated on the same NUMA node that serves the interrupt
(again, looking at ena driver only, haven't check others yet).

    int cpu = i % num_online_cpu();
    cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, &affinity_hint_mask);
    request_irq(irq, ...);
    irq_set_affinity_hint(irq, &affinity_hint_mask);
    int node = cpu_to_node(cpu);
    buffer = vzalloc(node);
