The current ARM DT topology description provides the operating system with a topological view of the system that is based on leaf nodes representing either cores or threads (in an SMT system) and a hierarchical set of cluster nodes that creates a hierarchical topology view of how those cores and threads are grouped. However this hierarchical representation of clusters does not allow to describe what topology level actually represents the physical package or the socket boundary, which is a key piece of information to be used by an operating system to optimize resource allocation and scheduling. Lets add a new "socket" node type in the cpu-map node to describe the same.
