Well, looking at the code it seems that only if mptable is used, then those
lines are expected to correctly identify a BSP.  With MADT there is no
information to identify the BSP and that is supposed to happen in cpu_mp_start().


static void
madt_add_cpu(u_int acpi_id, u_int apic_id, u_int flags)
{
        struct lapic_info *la;

        /*
         * The MADT does not include a BSP flag, so we have to let the
         * MP code figure out which CPU is the BSP on its own.
         */
...

In other words, those "SMP: Added CPU ..." are truly a cosmetic issue.
And it's my guess (just a guess) that BSP LAPIC ID is incorrect in the
problematic configuration.
