c/s 21811:12f0618400de broke this by not properly initializing struct cpuinfo_x86's x86_num_siblings member (other than Linux, where this is a global variable, it is being maintained per CPU by Xen). Hyper-threaded CPUs with CPUID leaf 0xb present had therefore all cpu_sibling_map-s with just a single bit set, thus improperly feeding the scheduler.
