Sigh, that looks like BIOS value add again.

It's not a false positive. Something _IS_ sending a vector 55 to these CPUs
for whatever reason.

Can you please enable CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS and dig in the files there
whether vector 55 is used on CPU0 and which device is associated to that.

I bet its a legacy IRQ and as that space starts at 48 (IRQ0) this should be
IRQ9 which is usually - DRUMROLL - the ACPI interrupt.

The kernel clearly sets that up to be delivered to CPU 0 only, but I've
seen that before that the BIOS value add thinks that this setup is not
relevant.

As a least resort. root ssh - SHUDDER - Ooops now I spilled my preferred
password for that :)

Thanks,
