Ravikiran Thirumalai bisected it to:

| commit 2759c32
| x86: don't call read_apic_id if !cpu_has_apic

The problem is that on vSMP systems the CPUID derived
initial-APICIDs are overlapping - so we need to fall
back on hard_smp_processor_id() which reads the local
APIC.

Both come from the hardware (influenced by firmware
though) so it's a tough call which one to trust.

Doing the quirk expresses the vSMP property properly
and also does not affect other systems, so we go for
this solution instead of a revert.
