acpi_cpu_idle: cpu with no corresponding acpi cpu

I have a question about the following block in acpi_cpu_idle:
/*
* Look up our CPU id to get our softc. If it's NULL, we'll use C1
* since there is no ACPI processor object for this CPU. This occurs
* for logical CPUs in the HTT case.
*/
sc = cpu_softc[PCPU_GET(cpuid)];
if (sc == NULL) {
acpi_cpu_c1();
return;
}
I believe that a part of the comment that singles out HTT is certainly incorrect
for modern and non-buggy ACPI tables.
But in general, should we expect (and support) ACPI platforms where some real
CPUs (which have to be advertised via ACPI [modulo non-MADT, mptable-only
systems]) do not have corresponding Processor objects in DSDT?
Does acpi_pcpu_get_id provide such support?
Or can the code in question be just replaced with KASSERT?
Thank you in advance.
