The todo list looks somethign like:

+ Add ACPI MADT APIC enumerator.
  - Use APIC ID's for index in lapics[] array instead of ACPI IDs, ACPI
    IDs are not guaranteed to be non-sparse
  + solve ACPI module problem where madt wants APIC symbols :(
    (this is gross)
  - doesn't work when loaded as a module
    - UMA needs to be fixed to not need mp_maxid so early
      - other workaround is to fix mp_maxid at MAXCPU
    - move cpu_mp_probe() to SI_SUB_CPU  (perhaps shuffle SI of other
      SMP sysinits as a result)
    - update apic enumerators to probe CPUs later
    - have apic enumerators hookup to the apic subsystem after SI_SUB_KLD
      maybe SI_ORDER_LAST
 
Where '+' is something that has been implemented, and '-' remains
to be done.
