Hardware correlation

[Bart C. Wise]

Michael,

Is there a way to correlate the hardware between SMBIOS and other sources of 
information (procfs, sysfs, ACPI, SMBIOS, IPMI, etc.) on a Linux platform. 
For example, if we are dealing with a 4-processor system, how do we know that 
procfs' processor #3 is the same as SMBIOS' processor #3, and is the same as 
ACPI's processor #3. I know that procfs and sysfs use the same data, so they 
correlate; however, what about SMBIOS?
