and we end up with a zoo of ways different topo stuff is calculated.
Given we already have threads_per_pkg calculated within the function,
is cleaner/more self-documenting to reuse it with pow2ceil() instead of
adding yet another helper with less than obvious '1 <<
apicid_pkg_offset(topo_info)' math.
