Hi

I think your issue relates to x2APIC support and I don't think that full 
support for parsing x2APIC MADT entries and doing interrupts remapping 
has been committed yet from my very brief search of the source and 
commit messages.  I've copied Andriy Gapon and Konstantin Belousov who 
participated in another x2APIC thread in September last year.  They will 
probably have a more intelligible response.

sys/x86/include/apicvar.h limits APIC IDs as follows:

#define MAX_APIC_ID     0xfe
#define APIC_ID_ALL     0xff

This is why CPUs with an APIC ID above 255 are being ignored in 
acpica/madt.c

sys/x86/x86/mptable.c has this choice piece of code:

         if (intr->dst_apic_id == 0xff)
                 apic_id = APIC_ID_ALL;
         else
                 apic_id = intr->dst_apic_id;

which for the current value of APIC_ID_ALL can simply be rewritten as:

         apic_id = intr->dst_apic_id;

I do not think it is safe to increase MAX_APIC_ID yet.
