2.6.31-rc7 does not boot on vSMPowered systems.  The sched domains
seem to build incorrectly with error messages of the sort:

[    8.501108] CPU31: Thermal monitoring enabled (TM1)
[    8.501127] CPU 31 MCA banks SHD:2 SHD:3 SHD:5 SHD:6 SHD:8

[    8.737975] ERROR: domain->cpu_power not set
[    8.742416]

This is followed by oopsen in the scheduler code
with NULL pointer deference in find_busiest_group.

Git bisection pointed to the following commit:

commit 2759c3287de27266e06f1f4e82cbd2d65f6a044c
x86: don't call read_apic_id if !cpu_has_apic

Upon examining the history of the commit, the above commit seems to be a fix
for:

commit 4797f6b021a3fa399942245d07a1feb30df81bb8
x86: read apic ID in the !acpi_lapic case

However, there appears to be bug in the commit
2759c3287de27266e06f1f4e82cbd2d65f6a044c, where flat_phys_pkg_id
uses initial apic id instead of hard_smp_processor_id() on SMP machines.

This patch fixes the bug and causes vSMPowered systems to boot up
correctly,
