I found someone. :)  They don't have an X2 processor, just a 6400, and it does 
seem that the MP Table in there case does have some busted entries.  However, 
the link devices used for APIC routing do work ok so with ACPI enabled 6.0 
booted up ok out of the box with APIC enabled.  Probably they (Shuttle) got 
by with a busted MP Table because Windows probably just uses ACPI and worked 
fine out of the box.
