it just won't work at boot time - the second logic unit will be stuck:

Booting processor 1/2 APIC 0x1
Initializing CPU#1
Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5586.12 BogoMIPS (lpj=2793063)
CPU: Trace cache: 12K uops, L1 D cache: 16K
CPU: L2 cache: 1024K
CPU: Physical Processor ID: 0
CPU: Processor Core ID: 1
CPU1: Thermal monitoring enabled (TM1)
              Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz stepping 04
Brought up 2 CPUs
testing NMI watchdog ... <4>WARNING: CPU#1: NMI appears to be stuck (0->0)!
