Log:
MFC rev 196268:
Decouple ACPI CPU Ids from FreeBSD's cpuid. The ACPI Ids can be
sparse, which causes a kernel assert.

Can you be a bit more precise?
What kernel assert?

In subr_smp.c, function smp_topo():
  panic("Built bad topology at %p.  CPU mask 0x%X != 0x%X",
      top, top->cg_mask, all_cpus);

lThat's very interesting. That probabilly means we will end without
any sparse CPUs IDs on all architectures?

Yes. It also means that hot-swap CPUs are impossible to
support for reasons that are unrelated to the technical
problems of managing the appearance and disappearance
of CPUs.
