It works, it's just a little bit magic:

(gdb) p (((1 << 0) >> 1) << 3)
$1 = 0
(gdb) p (((1 << 1) >> 1) << 3)
$2 = 8
(gdb) p (((1 << 2) >> 1) << 3)
$3 = 16
(gdb) p (((1 << 3) >> 1) << 3)
$4 = 32
(gdb) 

We do the same in arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h since b058450f38c337d1
("arm64: kernel: add MPIDR_EL1 accessors macros").

Thanks,
Mark.
