It is probably not bad interrupt routing.  Can you try the following scenarios 
and tell us which ones work and which ones fail:

1) HTT + ACPI
2) no HTT + ACPI
3) ACPI and no apic (set hint.apic.0.disabled=1 from loader)
4) no ACPI (set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 from loader)
5) no ACPI and no APIC (set both hints above from loader)
