Staring a bit more at the code, this looks very likely; in
acpi_map_gic_cpu_interface() we have

which means that this callback function (for parsing the GICC structures in the
MADT) expects to find the boot processor as well.
Upon finding the boot processor, we set bootcpu_valid to true, and that's it --
no association with any NUMA node, and no incrementing of "cpu_count".
Thanks
