Humm, it does seem that your BIOS is broken and is reporting the two cores
on CPU 0 in the mptable. :-/ The part at the end here lists the 4 cpus
and their APIC IDs as 0, 1, 2, and 3. According to the IA-32 docs I've
read, when HTT is used, the APIC ID's of logical cores within a physical
CPU are consecutive, i.e. x then x+1.

This tells us the physical address that the local APIC resides at. Well
the address that it decodes and that this system has a PC-AT compat mode
meaning it has 8259A's that can do interrupts.

These are your four CPU's with APIC IDs 0, 1, 2, and 3. BTW, if you
disable HTT in your BIOS, then APIC IDs 1 and 3 should become
DISABLED instead of ENABLED. Or rather, they may have a flags of
{}. (Lack of ENABLED)

These are your IO APICs along with the addresses they decode for
access to their registers and the base global interrupt number for
their interrupt pins. I.e., pin 2 on IO APIC 1 (ID 5) would have
a global interrupt number of 2 + 24 = 26. Part of my ACPI work is
to rework our current APIC code to use a similar global interrupt
number scheme with the mptable and IO APICs and to then fix our
PCI interrupt routing code for mptable SMP.

These are the normal pin overrides on IO APIC 0 (IRQ 0 is
mapped to pin 2 because pin 0 is used for the mixed mode
pass through and the 8259's don't have a real IRQ 2). IRQ
9 mapping to pin 9 seems rather normal except that it is
level triggered instead of edge triggered.

This says that the local interrupt pin 1 on each CPU
is wired up to an NMI.
