Yes, I suspected as much, but that's irrelevant to the arguments I 
outlined, that extending upon this quirk that makes SMP parallel bringup HW 
environment dependent, and then coupling s2ram x2apic re-enablement to that 
functional feature is inviting trouble in the long run.

For example, what guarantees that the x2apic will be turned back on after 
suspend if a system is booted with maxcpus=1?

Obviously something very close to your fix is needed.
