Well, it might not be.  You would need to check your new dmesg to see
if it is.  Currently HT is only available on P4 Xeons.  The acpi_cpu
entries might just be because the BIOS in your box is built using
a ASL template shared among many motherboards or some such.  The
acpi_cpu entries are not the same as entries in the mptable or
MADT per se.  They use a different numbering scheme and other
weirdness.  I think a simple P4 I have here at work has two
ACPI CPU "slots" as well actually.  Hmm, nope, only has one.  *shrug*
You just have a weird BIOS. :)
