From what I can tell, my recompile was succesful. I saw some other messages
on an issue where IRQ's changed and the same thing happened to me, all my
devices IRQ's get shuffled around when I boot with the new SMP kernel.
Personally, this is not a problem as all seems operational, but I wonder,
given the response of some of the detection and configuration parameters at
start, if something is wrong:

[>dmesg output editted for specific SMP entries<]

APIC_IO: routing 8254 via 8259 and IOAPIC #0 intpin 0
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!

The last entries from APIC_IO worry me, as I only see one entry indicating
CPU #x has been launched. Should I have another line saying CPU#0 Launched?
Or CPU#1? And is the Broken MP table that has been routed to 8259 working
proper? I really appreciate all the feedback you guys provide on these
problems.

Regards,

Alex

IIRC, those other options don't exist now days. I think you will get a make
error if you add them.
