In which case complaining is still correct (the BIOS was out of sync),
enabling bit 17 is still correct and we are just in overkill mode.

This has everything to do with how AMD coherent hypertransport works and
little if anything to do with how the NV bridge operated.
Basically the NV bridge seems to be sending a standard hypertransport
x86 legacy interrupt packet (that doesn't have any target information)
and when that packet hits the coherent hypertransport domain it isn't
being converted into whatever would send it to all cpus.
.....
The real practical problem is if somehow the BIOS goofs up this way
and it then decides to ask us to boot on one of these cpus with
an extended apic id. We will hang in calibrate_delay. So far
this only seems to happen in the kdump case but in theory the BIOS
could be completely crazy.
