Thanks for providing the data.

[    0.089286] CPU topo: APIC ID 0 present 1
[    0.089294] CPU topo: APIC ID 0 present 0
[    0.089296] CPU topo: Hot-pluggable APIC ID 0 in present package.

ACPI is really a wonderland.

Can you please test the patch below?

Thanks,

Subject: x86/topology: Deal with more broken ACPI tables

Paul reported a regression which waas caused by the handling of non-present
CPUs in a present package. It's caused by the ACPI table on the system
which advertises APICs twice, present and non-present:

  CPU topo: APIC ID 0 present 1
  CPU topo: APIC ID 0 present 0
  CPU topo: Hot-pluggable APIC ID 0 in present package.                                                                                                                                                                         
Which causes the topology to get confused to the point that it fails to
bring the system up because the target APIC for the IOAPIC is not
available.

Prevent this by checking whether a non-present CPU has been already
registered as present before. If so emit a firmware warning and ignore the
registration request.
