Why to code complicated workarounds for broken firmware? It's so easy to
fix, so either bother the vendor for a fix or replace the system with a
sane one. Reading and understanding the Intel's MP spec is a day or at
most two worth of man's work. I wouldn't trust the vendor that refuses to
invest in a product even that little.
