Just wanted to give everybody some closure on this issue:  Through the
magic of a JTAG debugger, I was able to identify that the problem was
an infinite loop in the BIOS's SMI handler.  I'm not sure why this
didn't effect Linux -- perhaps it brought up the APs before the SMI
came in.  In any case, this clearly isn't a FreeBSD problem and I've
punted the problem back to the BIOS vendor.  Thanks to everyone who
offered help and advice.
