I should have updated my BIOS before trying this out.  Sure enough, this
was a BIOS bug that was corrected in March.  The I/O APICS are now
numbered 16, 17 & 18 so as to not collide with processor's local APICS.
(Looks like the original BIOS only accounted for processors 0..7,
without hyperthreading.)

However, even with the properly renumbered IOAPICs, I still get the same
panic: "No free physical APIC IDs found".

I'm going to add some debug messages and track this down further.  I'll
let you know if I find anything.  I'll also check the MADT to see if it
jives with everything else.

Thanks,
John
