The hint should be:

(XEN) ACPI: Local APIC address c0000000fee00000
(XEN) ACPI: [APIC:0x07] ignored 12 entries of 16 found

Currently the default config file sets CONFIG_NR_CPUS to be 4, 
which means only the early 4 entries can be parsed. See Jingke's log:

(XEN) ACPI: LSAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lsapic_id[0xc0] lsapic_eid[0x18] 
enabled)
(XEN) CPU 0 (0xc018) enabled (BSP)
...
(XEN) ACPI: LSAPIC (acpi_id[0x04] lsapic_id[0xc1] lsapic_eid[0x18] 
enabled)
(XEN) CPU 4 (0xc118) enabled

The 2nd active LSAPIC entry happens to be 5th slot in MADT table, 
which is ignored by dom0. Then it's easy to understand why Tristan 
can succeed on his box due to possibly different LSAPIC entries.

Jingke, could you try enlarging CONFIG_NR_CPUS to be same as 
MAX_VIRT_CPUS, to see whether dom0 smp will be up for you?

Thanks,
Kevin
