How does the kernel I would build from that link differ from the stock 7.1 kernel?

Am I correct in my understanding that the stock kernel is GENERIC?

I don't see anything since 7.1-RELEASE in 7.1-STABLE even, that would have the potential to fix your problem. Best thing you can do: 0) Check BIOS if there's something there that can make a CPU 'invisible'. 1) subscribe to freebsd-acpi and ask there if people have seen this before. 2) recompile kernel for acpi debugging, so you have information ready when people ask for it 3) regardless of the 1), search for or file a new PR with your ACPI information.
