 non-present APIC IDs in a present package")

Awesome - can confirm the patch does indeed make the machine boot. Full
dmesg from boot attached. And the contents of
/sys/kernel/debug/x86/topo/ is as follows:

domain: Thread     shift: 1 dom_size:     2 max_threads:     2
domain: Core       shift: 4 dom_size:     8 max_threads:    16
domain: Module     shift: 4 dom_size:     1 max_threads:    16
domain: Tile       shift: 4 dom_size:     1 max_threads:    16
domain: Die        shift: 4 dom_size:     1 max_threads:    16
domain: DieGrp     shift: 4 dom_size:     1 max_threads:    16
domain: Package    shift: 4 dom_size:     1 max_threads:    16
