Hi Andriy & list!

Since rev 213323 my Sony Vaio P11Z was unable to boot up. It broke with 
a divide by zero in topo_probe_0x4 at line 289 as cpu_logical is 0.

The cpu is an Intel Atom Z520 (single core). System doesn't boot at all 
w/ acpi enabled.

The following patch made me to boot up again.

  }

``mptable -grope -verbose`` gives:

  MP FPS NOT found,
  suggest trying -grope option!!!

so it's not of much help.

relevant part of dmesg looks like:

I'm wondering if there's a better way to fix that problem or if someone 
wants to commit my fix.

Thanks,

Volker
