Multiple CPUs without SMP

I'm kinda confused.
Can I use both processors with a non-SMP kernel? I
don't need SMP, I would settle on manually assigning
CPU affinity to each processor, but I gather FreeBSD
can only handle 2+ CPUs with SMP enabled.
On a 5.4 box without SMP mptables show both CPUs
though:

MP Config Base Table Entries:
--
Processors: APIC ID Version State Family Model Step Flags
0 0x11 BSP, usable 6 11 1
0x383fbff
1 0x11 AP, usable 6 11 1
0x383fbff
<...>
dmesg.boot says only cpu0 is found, top doesn't see
the other one, too.
