It booted with the -rc kernel too. :)

I found an interesting and probably related difference in the boot logs
though. Up to 8 possible CPUs the kernel uses logical destination mode
for the APIC. With more than 8 it uses physical destination mode.

Can you please test the patch below on top of 6.9 and validate that it
boots w/o any magic command line parameter?

Thanks,
