looks like your system DO have DMAR table, please enable dmar
remapping in your kernel config.

I've already got following config:
CONFIG_DMAR_TABLE=y
CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU=y
CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP=y

but I don't have intel_iommu=on in kernel cmdline. IIRC, iommu will prevent
2nd kernel from booting ...

Did you put intel_iommu=on on first and second cpu both?

I tried, 2nd kernel didn't boot and keep splitting errors like these:

This is the problem I'm working on.
