Sorry.. i noticed it later...

I think the problem is the return type u8, and -1 being treated as error
return.

You probably missed the warning that flew by...

Local apic entries are only 8 bits, but it seemed to not be caught with 
u8 return value result in the check

cpu_index >= NR_CPUS becomming always false.

drivers/acpi/processor_core.c: In function `acpi_processor_get_info':
drivers/acpi/processor_core.c:483: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type
