(haven't completely bisected, might be the previous commit)
booting freezes some time after

Initialize MI interrupts

For example on an Intel Atom:

Initialize MI interrupts
objcache: magazine cap [13, 141]
Finish MP startup
Active CPU Mask: 00000003

On a Asrock Z77M (Intel i3):

Initialize MI interrupts
objcache: magazine cap [13, 141]
Finish MP startup
Active CPU Mask: 0000000f
TSC testing MP synchronization
TSC is MP synchronized, after 57322 tries

On the other hand, the problem does not manifest on a true single processor i386 Pentium 4 machine.
