Urgh..
What I think, with my pre wakeup brain, happens is that the CPUID
topology muck still reports 2 siblings (it tends to do that).
But the BIOS only reports APIC-IDs for all your cores, so our
nr_cpu_ids is reduced, while the nr_siblings count it not.
And them *boom*.
This is the same old problem that is nearly impossible to tell if HT is
enabled or not -- complete and utter trainwreck :/
I need to go make wake-up-juice and ponder wth to do about this.
