Re: Early boot regression from f0551af0213 ("x86/topology: Ignore non-present APIC IDs in a present package")

Ok - so re the serial port comment (which I missed the first time I
read your message, oops!): I can totally get a serial console on this
machine, I happen to already have a serial port hooked up to the
motherboard. I'm not sure where my USB to RS232 adapter to connect to
it on my laptop is though, so I put in an order for a new one and it
should arrive tomorrow.

Regarding the test results - I tried possible_cpus all the way up to 17
and nothing got the machine to boot. However, possible_cpus=8
intremap=off did get the machine to boot successfully
