From: James Cleverdon <jamesclv@us.ibm.com> On summit-based machines the cpu_sibling_map data has been hosed for some time. I found out why in Intel's IA-32 Software Deveveopers' Manual Vol 2 under CPUID. Looks like the value that cpuid returns is the one latched at reset, and doesn't reflect any changes made by the BIOS later: * Local APIC ID (high byte of EBX)--this number is the 8-bit ID that is assigned to the local APIC on the processor during power up. This field was introduced in the Pentium 4 processor. Also, the code in init_intel was a bit overdesigned. Until Intel releases a chip with a non-power-of-2 sibling count on it, there's no point in all that bit bashing.
