Re: Early boot regression from f0551af0213 ("x86/topology: Ignore non-present APIC IDs in a present package")

Oh! I am not sure what changed, but I realized that you might also want to see
the serial output from the debugging patch that you had sent me a while ago.
So I just built that against the 6.9 kernel and it actually seems to boot
without needing me to pass intremap=off. So it seems like that might actually
be a fix!
