Well they look sane enough. All even APIC IDs and then all the odd ones
is a topology that isn't massively surprising.

Does it match what you get *before* suspend/resume?

Obviously we could stick our fingers in our ears and go "la la la" and
just disable it for non-X2APIC, for AMD without X2APIC, or perhaps
disable it on *resume* but still use it at boot. But I'd really like to
understand what's going on and not do voodoo. Thanks for helping!
