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

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that one of the desktops I use for
testing no longer seems to boot after this commit (just finished
bisecting and confirming). The machine hangs before it gets to fbcon,
and the error I'm seeing in the early boot console is as such:

   Kernel panic - not syncing: timer doesn't work through Interrupt-remapped IO-APIC

Assuming I copied this over by hand to my computer correctly, the
decoded backtrace should be:

   Kernel panic - not syncing: timer doesn't work through Interrupt-remapped IO-APIC

Happy to provide any more information from this machine if you need it
:). And hopefully i'm not just late to the party and reporting a
regression someone else found already lol
