it just turned out to be a single assumption: init_apic_mappings() must
happen after init_smp_config(). (this also explains my crash)

The attached smp-2.3.48-B2 patch (against pre2-2.3.48) boots just fine
here. The reserve_bootmem() thing might just be paranoia - is there any
conceivable possibility that pagetable_init() overwrites the MP table?

Lyle, could you check out this patch on your 'interesting' system? Thanks.

Ingo
