Log:
  Complete commit message for r235024:
  
  Use MADT to match ACPI Processor objects to CPUs.  MADT and DSDT/SSDTs may
  list CPUs in different orders, especially for disabled logical cores.  Now
  we match ACPI IDs from the MADT with Processor objects, strictly order CPUs
  accordingly, and ignore disabled cores.  This prevents us from executing
  methods for other CPUs, e. g., _PSS for disabled logical core, which may not
  exist.  Unfortunately, it is known that there are a few systems with buggy
  BIOSes that do not have unique ACPI IDs for MADT and Processor objects.  To
  work around these problems, 'debug.acpi.cpu_unordered' tunable is added.
  Set this to a non-zero value to restore the old behavior.
  Many thanks to jhb for pointing me to the right direction and the manual
  page change.
