Eh, the table that ACPI provides that lists the available CPUs in the system 
claims that that the CPU that the kernel booted from is disabled.  We assume 
that the boot processor is valid and enabled (since it is running the kernel 
already!)  This is almost certainly a firmware bug.  Booting without UEFI 
would be a good test as Mark suggested.  If you can capture a verbose dmesg, 
that would also include enough details about what we found in the ACPI table 
to debug this further perhaps.
